My Background
My artistic mother introduced me to the basics of fine art drawing and watercolor when I was a child. I meandered through most of my life, stifling my appetite, thinking I should pursue "real" work. Now that I'm retired, I can pursue what I've always wanted.

I studied charcoal and graphite drawing under Bill Dowdy at Blue Mountain College, watercolor with Jennifer Redstreake Geary and Kay Foote, and oil with George McElligott and Christopher Groves.

My Background
I'm relatively new to painting with colors because of my slight colorblindness. Drawing most of my life gave me confidence with shades and values, but a few years with watercolor, oil, and acrylic has turned me in a new direction. I've learned that I'm free to choose the colors that move me in the moment.
