As a self taught artist I switch freely between subject matter, seeking the narrative of a painting and the interplay of color and light upon a scene. For art mediums I focus on acrylic, soft pastels, oils and gouache. Originally from the plains of Nebraska, I am drawn to the solitude of quiet scenes, the serenity and simplicity in the face of an animal or person, and the architecture of trees. Currently residing in Virginia, I exhibit locally and regionally.
