I have been an artist all my life influenced by my mother, an art teacher and painter herself. Sharing her imagination and the remarkable way she observed the world around us sparked my curiosity and a passion to create.
Upon my graduation from The Ohio State University with a degree in Graphic Design, I moved to suburban Detroit where I spent many years working in various fields of art and design, selling residential real estate, and raising my family.
Now I spend my days in my art studio in northern Michigan. When I am not painting, you can find me scouring resale shops, hiking the woods, casting a fly rod, sitting by a campfire, or curled up with my favorite grandson and grand dogs.
