I am a painter living in Marin County with a studio at the Marin M.O.C.A. Art Center in Novato. I have been working in my studio for more than twenty years. During my first ten years at M.O.C.A. I taught children in the classroom and privately in my studio. Lately I have been concentrating on perfecting my own skills. I enjoy drawing the human figure and painting in oils and also water color. My landscapes are inspired by the incredible beauty of Marin and Sonoma counties. I love to paint plein air (painting outside), and I often use the small paintings I do to inspire larger works.
