I paint the moody Pacific Northwest, using lighting, color, and texture to express emotion and draw viewers into each scene.

My art reflects my love for nature and the sea, shaped by years hiking, skiing, riding, fishing, kayaking, and camping in the region. With its dramatic weather, light, and scenery, the Pacific Northwest inspires me—from mountains to the sea.

For my art degree, I studied drawing and ceramics at both Bellevue Community College and at Washington State University.  I earned my final Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ.
