"Having lived and traveled extensively throughout the world, I have viewed and studied a wide assortment of original art. I see watercolor as an exciting, highly, diversified media. It offers the artist the greatest latitude for expression and flexibility. However, I also enjoy other media, since my passion is art.
"I am a thirty year resident of Anchorage, Alaska with a Bachelors Degree in art. My work has been shown in the Anchorage Museum of History and Art, Artique, Arctic Rose, Borders Book Store, Alaska Fur Rendezvous, Nature's Window, Alaska Water Color Exhibits and Studios in Anchorage, Kailua, Hawaii, The Alaska Inland Passage ships the Taku, Columbia, Malaspina and Matanuska, and The Best Little Coffee Shop in Town. I am presently showing at the Fireweed Gallery, Artique, Girdwood Art Center and the U.S. Federal Building and Court House.
"I am a board member for the Alaska Water Color Society, a member of the Girdwood Art Center, and the Alaska Artist's Guild, also a member of the Kachemak Bay Watercolor Society. I juried shows at the University of Alaska, several Rendezvous Shows, and the Federal Aviation Administration Art Show.
"In 1977, I was committee chairperson for the Alaska Water Color Society for the Anchorage Museum Show.
"I have studied painting with national and international water colorists including Charles Reid, Frank Webb, Gerald Brommer, Judy Betts, Christopher Schink, Katherine Chang Liu, and Robert Wade.
"It gives me great satisfaction to take a blank sheet of paper and create something. I continually strive to improve myself in the art field through education, degrees, drawing and painting experiences, workshops and teaching. I believe that we were born to create."
