Born in Wyoming, raised in California, I settled in Dallas in the 70’s. After first exhibiting my original designs on works of fabric at art shows and festivals in Texas, I began painting abstract native art which was sold at private viewings. Finding another facet of abstracts which I call Colorfalls, I began a new body of contemporary abstract contemporary work.

My paintings are visuals of the emotions which drive me to paint in the first place. I paint what I feel, not what I see. Painting with acrylics allows me to have density of different levels and a freer flow and movement to the canvas. Music plays a large part in the overall drive of each painting. I often wonder what would happen to all the energy, positive and negative, that goes into my designs and paintings if they did not end up on a canvas.

I paint what I feel, not what I see. It is a wonderful therapy for my heart and soul.
