"I enjoy the spontaneity and the expressionistic process involved in creating abstract images and the freedom to experiment with color and various mediums. My influences are Georgia O'Keeffe, Charles Demuth, Helen Frankenthaler, Wassily Kandinsky, and Emily Carr."


"I paint both landscape and botanical themes alternating between abstract and representational images. My work is inspired by nature’s endless arrangements of line, color and form. I also enjoy exploring different ways of portraying landscapes through creative compositions and color combinations. The prairie landscapes, foothills, the California valleys and the colorful southwest landscape in New Mexico are some of  the locations that have inspired my series of simplified, colorful and flowing compositions. "

Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoyed the online gallery!
