Inspired by nature, I strive to capture and share the essence of whatever
drew me to a particular place. I’m especially attracted to the lighting,
textures, and moods of country roads, wetlands, woods, and fields. The
beauty and uniqueness I see in the everyday compels me to draw this
fascinating world around us.

I work with pastels which are very versatile and allow for drawing techniques
and flat, brush-like strokes. I love color and often exaggerate the variety and
brilliance of what I see. I begin by loosely establishing the overall
composition with large abstract shapes and then apply layers of pastel as I
develop value, texture and detail.

I have always enjoyed drawing and painting and received a B.A. in art from
Eastern Michigan University. About ten years ago, I began to seriously
focus on developing my art and participated in my first art fair in 2003. I
have received several awards, including having one of my pastels as the
featured art for promotional items/advertising for the 2004 State Street
Area Art Fair, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
