About the artist
"I work out of my home studio in Austin, where I paint on stretched canvas. This is mostly in acrylics, mixed media, oils and Encaustics, it depends on the subject matter and how patient I am feeling.
My formal education was in Interior Design, and I studied with several well know artist in England and the Netherlands, frequented art museums, and many historical sites throughout Europe. This is when I started painting on canvas and creating wall murals.
Since moving to Austin I have concentrated on canvas paintings. I still travel to paint wall murals and ship the floor cloth just about anywhere. The Hill Country and surrounding area intrigue me and that is the direction of my art now.
Memberships include; Austin Visual Art Society and Capitol Art Society
2011 to present I curate the Art Gallery at the Old Bakery and Emporium, Congress Avenue across from the Capitol."
