I am a lifelong resident of Seattle, and still live about 4 miles from where I was born. I have been working in one art medium or another all of my adult life and am self taught in all of them. I settled into painting exclusively in 1996, and haven’t looked back. I love the process of researching topics that interest me, and creating my translation of what I’ve learned into colorful imagery, often with a twist. I have provided a short listing below of some of the projects I’ve done and places I’ve shown. I would be happy to supply more detailed information on request.
