Artist Bio:

I love the feel of the sun, wind, fog, and the smell of the air while I am outside painting en plein-air in the beauty and spirit of all that Coastal California has to offer. Color is pure joy to me. Whether I am outside in the moment capturing the pulse of nature with palette knife and brush, or quietly focused inside the studio, my paintings reflect the vibrancy and joyfulness of life and are intended to produce happiness for the viewer.

For the past 20+ years I have combined my love of Real Estate and my love of Painting to live a full and productive “Gemini” life in Aptos. I continue to enjoy learning and exploring in the world of painting and the arts.
