Artist Info


I am an artist living in Fernandina Beach, Florida who returned to painting full time after a career in higher education administration. My art practice primarily includes painting in oils and watercolors, as well as several types of printmaking.   My work reflects how I see the world in color and patterns whether it is landscape, industrial abstract, floral/botannical or other subjects.  

Education

 BFA in Painting, Drawing and Graphics from The Ohio State University 1978
