From the Artist:
“The beauty and diversity of the natural world is the inspiration for my acrylic paintings. Using expressive colors and rich details, I create paintings designed to give the viewer an experience, both up close and at a distance.
As a graduate of Central Washington University, I began my art career with Alaska Silver and Ivory as a scrimshaw artist.
Then, finding it more fun to work larger, I moved from ivory to colored pencil and then to acrylic paint.
I love to share with the viewer a new way to see everyday scenes and details that would be ordinarily passed by.
I hope you’ll find it’s fun to see the world through an artist’s eye.”
