Biography

“I was lucky to grow up in a small community in Wisconsin that valued art education for its youth and as a child developed a passion for creating. But first came a career as a CPA and my creative tendencies were put on hold until I was able to devote sufficient time to painting. Since retiring from accounting, I have studied with the best instructors I could find. Recently that has included Daniel Keys, Aswhini Bharathula, Timothy Rees, and Robin Cole. Oil quickly became my medium of choice for its versatility and vibrance. My technique depends on my subject and ranges from realism to thick paint applied with a palette knife. Although I paint landscapes, figurative and everything in between, I have an affinity for painting water. Challenging reflections, mysteries glimpsed below the surface, and tranquility that draws you to linger for hours. This is what I hope to capture.”
