ABOUT THE ARTIST
Born in San Francisco, and raised on the Peninsula, a life-long Californian, I've always loved the California landscape; it has always been an inspiration for my art, both painting, and in landscape design.
My art talent was encouraged by my father who realized as a child, I loved drawing. As a teenager, I studied oil painting and Honors drawing at the San Francisco Art Institute. I've taken Art & Design classes at San Francisco State, and The UC Extension in San Francisco. I work in Watercolor, Oil, Acrylic, Pen & Ink, and Pencil. Studied painting with Fred Holle, Jann Pollard, and sculpture with B.J. Stevenson. An award winning artist, I have participated in the following shows: 2010 Master Artists in Botanical Art at Strybing Arboretum participated in the Chomp ll exhibit at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers. The artists completed Pen & Ink drawings, and watercolors of Carniverous plants. The plant displays and paintings were featured together in a stunning Exhibit.
