"My creative passion started as a way to pass the time on family road trips.  Drawing for me is highly therapeutic, allowing me to unwind and reset from life’s stresses.

As an avid nature photographer, I create mainly from my own photos.  I prefer working in mediums that require minimal prep or clean-up, providing me maximum flexibility for my busy schedule.  I prefer working in colored pencil or pen & ink because both mediums cater to my slow, deliberate pace and provide the precise control needed for my preferred level of detail.

I'm continually building my knowledge of fundamentals such as form, composition and color, and I’m always searching for new techniques and materials.  The joy I felt 40 years ago when I first began my artistic journey is what keeps me going today.
