ABOUT THE ARTIST
My artistic journey is an ongoing progression, incorporating my art education fundamentals with exploration of color and light in my paintings.
My paintings are impressionistic in a defined style. My style is a simplification of complex subjects. Some are created from my imagination and some from photos that I take while hiking. My choice of colors expresses the effect of light and shadows on the rocks and mountains. My paintings have a traditional composition presented in a unique contemporary way.
Although my paintings are inspired by the Sedona landscape, where I live, it is my hope that each will evoke a viewers' memory of a hike or sunset that they have experienced anywhere.
I received a BFA degree in Printmaking from Washington University, St. Louis, MO. I enjoyed a twenty-year career as an account executive with an offset lithographer in Ann Arbor, MI. My concentration was fine art books and exhibition catalogs.
Solo show September/October 2024 at Yavapai College, Sedona campus.
