I hail from Petaluma, California. I moved to Canada in 1967 andI received my Bachelor of Fine Arts diploma from the University of British Columbia in 1978.
For twenty years I lived in Prince Rupert, and in 1992 one of my pieces was selected to appear in the Images and Objects exhibit during the B.C. Festival of the Arts in Vernon, B.C.
I have illustrated two children's books; The Princess and the SeaBear and Grey Cat at Sea, both written by Joan Skogan.
I exhibit regularly in the annual Artwalk in Port Moody.
My is sometimes somber, but often whimsical while contemplative. I work with a variety of themes, many of them describing animals or nature, sometimes figurative. Recurring themes are butterflies, lizards, and dragonflies. Ihave found these creatures have fascinated me since childhood.
I enjoy using a variety of media, but usually my pieces are mixed media, using collage, acrylic, sometimes pencil and technical pen. Recently I have been working on board. The upcoming show I am working towards is one of portraits of women friends. It is called the Women's Celebration Series and probably won't be complete until some time in 2015.
