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.

Pacific Fine Arts Festival in Walnut Creek, CA


Come by and see me in Walnut Creek this weekend, Fri., Sat., or Sun., on the corner of Cypress and Locust. St. outside Sherman Clay Piano Store.  I haven't been blogging lately.  Too busy painting, and being a mom and working on the house.  A delicate balance.  Painting my muse on a daily basis even if is is late at night when no one is stirring.  No one asking me where the remote is, or what's for dinner.  As much as I love the computer I have to be careful with it.  A quick minute on it to check my mail can easily turn in to an hour!

Pacific Fine Arts Festival in Walnut Creek, CA



Well, the Walnut Creek show has come and gone. (Pacific Fine Arts Festival)  I am posting a photo of my booth that I took early last Friday morning just after I had set up.  I am still in the shade at that time.  I had also already sold one of the small paintings.  That was a good thing.  But I wanted to take the photo before any sales were made.  Well, I guess I can't complain about a sale. It was a great show.  I couldn't have asked for better weather.  I always do well in Walnut Creek as I paint the local area everyone loves so much.

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.
