Working primarily in oils and in the manner of realism, my paintings reflect a combination of layered symbolism with a touch of subtle wit in the style of the classical tabletop still life. My works involve simply staged contemporary subject matters with results that I hope are thought-provoking yet peaceful to the eye and mind.

My work is a conduit for my life joys, trials, and tribulations, and my paintings, more than words, reveal my responses to those experiences.

I have a working studio on Main St. in Longmont where I paint, teach oil painting, and hold various workshops including acrylic pour, handmade paper, handmade art journals, and painting dot mandalas. I also teach art and crafts at Recovery Cafe and the OUR Center for adults with mental illness.
