I was raised in Kansas City where I live today.  A life long interest in art has been seriously pursued through fine arts studies at Johnson County Community College and through workshop studies with Philomene Bennett, Phil Starke, Charles Stegner and others.  My work is shown in the Kansas City area and can be found in corporate and private collections.

My paintings are based on quick, “drive-by” views of scenery.  I paint glimpses of  scenery passed on the way to somewhere else.  The oil paintings are memories and inventions of the patterns, color, joy and abundance to be found along the road.
