My painting is about trying to capture the essence of something beautiful on the canvas. The beauty of nature, captured plein air or in a photograph, creates endless inspiration for my work.
I moved to Benicia in 2013 after a rewarding career at University of the Pacific. I became a regular visitor to Benicia's galleries and joined Arts Benicia in 2017 where I am currently Development Manager. Through these connections I have met dozens of amazing and talented artists. This friendly and supportive artist community has been the reason for my development as an artist, for which I'm very grateful.
I paint mainly in oils. You can see my work at the Benicia Plein Air Gallery and at Blackbird Gallery, Benicia's newest gallery, which I opened with Angela White in December, 2025.
