A day without art is a day wasted
Following in my mom's footsteps, I too decided art was for me. In college I earned a BA in fine arts. I studied figure drawing, watercolor and oil painting, lithography, woodcut, and stone sculpture. Right out of college I began working as a piano technician and builder. Craftmanship informed my creative output while affording me the flexibility and time to dedicate to art.
I was instantly drawn to landscape painting, particularly those with water elements. I found my muse in Great Falls National Park. An extraordinary, rugged environment perfectly suited for capturing the turbulence of water in a formidable landscape. Great Falls continues to be a source of inspiration for its combination of geology, history and stark beauty.
Expanding from plein air to the studio, I developed my interest in the figurative, abstractions and beyond.
