I have been painting since 1987.  Painting brings me much enjoyment.  Currently, I am living my ultimate goal of teaching art full time and have built my own "state of the art"  studio.  My art background was inspired by Bill Alexander's Wet on Wet Technique and thoroughly groomed by my teacher, Arlee Jenkins and all of the wonderful TEAM instructors across the United States.  I paint in various mediums i.e. oils, acrylics and watercolors on various surfaces such as canvas, glass, mirrors, leather, wood, etc.   I have studied under many master instructors including, Brenda Harris, Buck Paulson, Valerie Stewart, Lowell Spears and Robert Warren.
