I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. In high school I received a scholarship for a life drawing class at Chouinards Art School in Los Angeles. That exposure to the adult art world pointed the direction I wanted to go in life but was sidetracked with other events in my life. Later, realizing what I was missing I started by attending classes at the local Junior Colleges and then went on to take many workshops with artists such as Charles Movalli, Duane Wakeham, Edward Norton Ward, David Jonas, Dolores D’Pharr, Carol Katchen, Glenna Hartmann, Richard McDaniel, Gil Dellinger, Daniel Greene, Anita Hampton, Ann Templeton and others.
In 1997 my husband and I moved to Sonoma County and enjoyed the rural life for a few years. We now reside in Petaluma, a small town in the south part of the county where I have my studio. I have taught occasional plein air workshops both around the beautiful countryside near my home and in Southern California. My paintings are in many collections both in the United States and Japan. Some of my corporate collectors include Sprint, Kaiser-Permanente and U.C. Davis Medical Center.
