Discover Who I Am

In my early adulthood, I was afforded the opportunity to pursue a formal education at the University of Toledo. There I would study the arts in the basement of the fabulous Toledo Museum of Art. It was a gift to sit alone in galleries and study the fine brushwork of paintings, or the chisel marks of a sculpture fashioned from the Master's hands. I continued for many years to earn my Master's degree from the same University.
After teaching for several years, I began to freelance my own work. In the years to follow, I have traveled to many places and studied under some of the great artists of today. Most recently in Sienna, Italy where I studied under a Master artist and learned the fine art of egg tempera and water guiding. I design interiors, do custom paintings for clients and designers, and sacred art in churches. Each commission is a new challenge and learning experience. I love taking an idea or concept and putting it on canvas. Today I reside in Sunset Beach, North Carolina, and work from my home studio.
