I loved to draw at an early age and now have been inspired to create art that reflects the beauty of the world around me. Having fallen in love with oil painting during the pandemic, I have had the opportunity to study with noted artists Susan Abbott, Mark Boedges, Howard Friedland, Joe Paquet and Laura Tryon Jennings. I am also a brand-new resident of Santa Fe, New Mexico! Expect a lot more art to come! Memberships include the Oil Painters of America, the American Impressionist Society and American Artists Professional League.
