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.

Colors Of Spring


Today I am getting ready for the Pacific Fine Arts Festival in Walnut Creek that starts on Friday and runs through Sunday.  This marks my 10th year with that show and luckily I have been on the same corner for 19 shows. They do 2 shows a year there in Walnut Creek, April and September.

If you are in town come look for me on the corner of Cypress and Locust St. outside ShermanClay Piano store.

I just finished this studio piece in time for the show.  Colors Of Spring.  It is a 30 x 42" oil on canvas.  This morning I am putting the finishing touches on a small plein aire piece I did this weekend.  I managed to wire the back of it while it was still wet so that I can bring it this weekend and hopefully sell it.
