Oils
I have great memories from my youth taking back country drives through Southern California with my architect father, looking for the perfect old barn, Victorian house or Spanish Mission to stop for a quick watercolor sketch. This was the beginning of my long journey of practicing to improve.
Later in life I relocated to Northern Nevada with my husband and three young children. With the Sierra Mountains to the West and high desert to the East, wildlife, wild horses, and ranching are inspirations for my work.
Through the years I have entered juried shows and have been successful winning many awards from honorable mention to best in show at state and local competitions.
When I’m not painting I enjoy many outdoor activities like hiking, boating and camping and riding horses. These activities supply me with plentiful inspirations while I make visual notes for future paintings.
