As a child I colored on scraps of mat board in the back of the gallery where my mother worked as a framer.  Art was always a loyal friend throughout my shy childhood.  

A gradual, self-taught interest in murals saw me through a BFA at Cornish in Seattle, and on to NYC afterward.  In New York I was blindsided by the talent of my co-creators at EverGreene Architectural Arts, the artists who truly taught me how to paint.  Sign-painting, gilding, restoration, and miniatures all made it into the repertoire over the following 12 years.  More nourishing than the fancy clients, I traded dinner for signage at tiny mom & pop restaurants all over the city.

Coming from a blue collar family, I was well-trained to create on demand.  All of my work was for corporations or commissions.  Since starting a family of my own five years ago, I've realized the fierce necessity to make art for the soul.  Painting is a secret hideout for all the mischievous trolls and sprites that don't fit into a busy modern life.  I paint mostly landscapes with a whimsical lens, sometimes with short stories for company.  Nature is a language I yearn to speak, and painting is my way of listening.  I am honored to be a part of a small, genuine community that shares their art within a seagull's swoop of the ocean.
