I live in the land of Carolina blue skies, lovely North Carolina!  Rivers and streams and greens - many greens.  Asheville, NC is my home.

With a degree in Art, but a need for a steady income, I worked in the corporate world for 25 years.  Night and weekends I painted, trying to work out just what I want to say, and why I want to say it with paint. 

I am drawn to the canvas and paint again and again. I kept plugging along through the years when I could only focus on it part time.

And now, I paint.

For the past six years I have finally been able to paint full time.  And everyday I return and play in color and light.  I see the light coming through foliage, or the mountain vistas and I am called to create.  I search for a way to interpret something beautiful in a way that allows others to respond from their own experiences.  

 My desire is to create beautiful paintings that you will look at again and again.
