My Professional career the past 40 years enabled me to develop my artistic skills in a very broad way by working in all types of visual media. My recent retirement from this career now allows me to devote time and energies into my personal art. I look forward to studying and painting more refreshing and positive aspects which life on this earth has to offer.

      My interest in artwork has been life-long and is probably the result of supportive parents, a great high school art teacher and a loving supportive wife whom is a constant source of encouragement.

    I Attempt to reflect in my work on the richness of natural life and human elements surrounding each of us.  I find the Northwest offers an unlimited source of reference material to work from. I still find an influence of my childhood growing-up in the Sumner/Auburn valley, surrounded by the lushness of Western Washington’s uncontrollable Blackberry vines, Saltwater and the nearby Cascade Mountains. Though I have resided here since 1967, I’m still in a state of exploration with Eastern Washington. It has a rawness which is exemplified by hot summers and cold winters.

      I work in a variety of mediums: Oil, Watercolor, Acrylic, Scratchboard and Pottery. I enjoy experimenting with each and often apply watercolor and acrylic to scratchboard to produce a mixed medium.
