Currently working in acrylics on canvas I have also worked in oils, pastels, etching, photo-silkscreen and photography. Born in Indiana, I have a BA from Purdue University majoring in Art History with a minor in Fine Art Painting and an MA from San Francisco State University in Theatre Arts.

My latest work is a series of related works called "Animal Thoughts."The series was inspired by two trips to Africa. Each animal has a unique character - a way of looking that expresses what they might be thinking and through my paintings I try to interpret what I think the animal might be trying to say to us.
