recent shot from home Feb. 2010

I am artist who enjoys the creative process as much as the result. I enjoy a wide array of mediums, but mostly find myself in the paint studio and stone carving marble!

I have had an opportunity to live in Europe as a child in the 1970’s and then as an adult in 2000-2001.
I have visited 11 countries and over 100 cities in Europe. In my european travels I experienced a huge number of castles, festivals, Museums and Art Museums. Many of the Museums several times each.

I have been to 41 states, and 4 provinces in Canada. I have seen a huge number of cities, museums, and National and State Parks in both countries. All of these experiences provide a huge amount of memories, and visual imagery to add to my creative process.
