I am a landscape and seascape oil painter. I have been painting for over 30 years. Inspired by the beauty of nature that surrounds me. I try to paint daily while life continually gets in the way! Life? What is that? It's what happens when I am not painting! Being a wife and mother, finding the remote, the shoes, signing permission slips. Where is the permission slip? "Mom why is there alizaran crimson on my permission slip?" I paint en plein aire as often as possible, and studio paint when I can't, like at 1:30 in the morning. Often enlarging small plein aire paintings onto a large canvas. I hike all over Mt. Diablo and the surrounding hills gathering field notes for my large paintings in the form of sketches, notes, small oil sketches, and photographs. I have been chased by cows, tangled up in barbed wire, soaked in rain swollen creeks with slippery crossing rocks, and all the while I have to make sure I am back in time to pick up a kid from school! Back in the studio, I get to work on the day's information I have gathered. Recreating it on a large canvas. When I hear, "what's for dinner?" Dinner? What's for dinner? I should know this. My mother always knew this. It should be on the table in about ten minutes from now, and I haven't a clue as to the answer of that question. I am still trying to figure out how I got alizarin crimson on the permission slip!


Please enjoy my work, I will post as often as possible. Feel free to leave comments or to contact me by e-mail.

California Spring


Here is a small 10x10" plein aire oil that I just finished.  It is still wet.  I hope to sell it this weekend in Walnut Creek!  With the way the economy is at the moment, I have tried to concentrate on having smaller more affordable pieces for sale.

Poppies!  There are everywhere right now.  I always have a lot of requests for poppies.  I have included them in many new works this spring to if you like poppies, come on down and see these new paintings.

I will be in the Pacific Fine Arts Festival in Walnut Creek, corner of Cypress and Locust St, Friday through Sunday, 10:00AM to 6:00PM  and 5:00Pm on Sunday.  My booth is outside Sherman Clay Piano Store on the corner and I have been there in that spot for 10 years now.
