As a native Oregonian I’ve resided on the coast, the mountains of Eastern Oregon and the Rogue Valley.  I’ve studied drawing, painting, and sculpture at Eastern Oregon University and hold a bachelor’s degree in fine art.  Alongside an art degree I have a background in education where I received a master’s degree in teaching.  I currently teach art at a public middle school.​​​​​​​

 I appreciate the problem-solving quality of painting and feel that placing ideas to canvas can be both very challenging and rewarding.  Birds, animals, and children are among my favorite subject matter as they often have a story to tell.  My works have been shown in galleries throughout Oregon.  I was previously a member at Art du Jour Gallery in Medford, Oregon and Art and Soul in Ashland, Oregon.  

All of my paintings may be available for purchase as high quality giclee prints.  Contact me with the title of the painting you are interested in for a pricing quote.
