I enjoy working in both oils and pastels, on location–en plein air, and in studio using my photos as reference. I am inspired by the beauty of nature, light and patterns. I paint a variety of subjects – landscapes, animals, still life. To me a successful painting captures the spirit of the moment. I exhibit my work in group, solo and juried shows in Wisconsin and in online national competitions.
Born and raised in Richland Center, I moved to Madison to complete a B.S. in Art. I had a 25 year career working as a Graphic Designer for the UW-Madison. Now in retirement, I enjoy painting and gardening at my home/studio in Spring Green, WI.
