About
I am an award winning Signature Oil Painter with Society of Western Artists specializing in the realistic rendering of inanimate and natural objects. I am a credentialed Fine Arts Teacher with 40 years of sharing my passion of the art process with people aged 2 to 90 in public schools, community education and in my studio. I have worked as a freelance illustrator for the Biology and Zoology Departments. I am currently working on a series of oil paintings of pollinators and stippled finely detailed ink drawings of nature themes.
