​UART 400
​The number one thing I remember since the age of 5  is coloring in my coloring books. That was magic to me. It was the beginning of a lifetime love affair with putting color on paper. I was a very active and athletic kid. I've had many interests over time. Many have come and gone, but my interest in art and color never faded.
 
Retired from teaching high school art and photography, I have settled in a beautiful spot in AZ and devote many of my hours to painting in my home studio.
 
I love abstract art and even though much of my work falls somewhere along that spectrum, I sometimes enjoy painting in a genre that is different from what I am used to.
When I'm not in my studio, I enjoy ballroom dancing, pickleball, badminton and horseback riding.
