Art is my life but it wasn't always my life. The passion for art began early in grade school when I recognized my love of color. Having grown up rurally, I had an early appreciation of nature. Eventually emotion was added and finally all three (color, nature and emotion) joined forces and the result is what I see, what I feel and what I paint today.

Door County had an early influence on my. I experienced the beauty of the peninsula at an early age. Summers would find our family driving to the county for cherries. My vow... some day I would live in Door County.

I feel very fortunate to be able to communicate my feelings, my joys, my love of nature in my artwork. One of my greatest rewards is to share that love with fellow artists when I teach. I am a firm believer that you need only the desire to become involved in art and thus begin this wonderful journey on the path of creativity.

Again, art is my life and one of the greatest things about life is sharing...
