I was born and raised in Sacramento, California and attended the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, California. Painting has been an important part of my life ever since I can remember. I love working in watercolors and acrylics. I have begun to experiment with more color in my paintings. The scenery of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the California foothills have inspired me to continue to learn and grow. Through my travels to Canada, Oregon and other parts of the United States, I have expanded the subjects that I choose to paint. There is always something new to see and paint in all of these beautiful areas. I have begun to take photographs wherever I travel and now I am selling photographs as well as paintings and prints.
Over the years I have exhibited in the following locations in California:
- Central California Arts League Show at the Gallo Winery in Modesto
- Calaveras County Fair (winning numerous awards in amateur and professional)
- Tuolumne County Fair (winning numerous awards in amateur and professional)
- Amador County Fair (amateur division, honorable mention)
- Columbia College Student Art Shows
- Golden Palette Art Club Show at Ironstone Winery, Murphys
- Golden Palette Art Club Show, Gold Rush Days, Murphys
- Discover the Arts Show at the Junction Shopping Center, Sonora
- Columbia Art Show, Columbia
- Tallahan’s in Arnold
- Firehouse Gallery, Murphys
I have many collectors in California, including San Francisco, Sacramento, Arnold, Angels Camp, El Sobrante, Palos Verdes Estates and Fellows.
