My inspiration is deeply rooted in nature.

The images I paint come from within my own memory. As I reflect on these memories, I do not distinguish between reality and fantasy. I paint both as they present themselves to me. I hope that my paintings will transport you to a wonderful place tugging at the border of your own memory.

My web site can only give you a general feeling for my work. It cannot capture the richness of color or texture in the actual paintings.

My studio is located in a historic building in Midtown Houston, where I paint, teach private art classes, and welcome visitors by appointment. I love to paint on non-traditional surfaces that encourage spontaneity. To share my knowledge about these surfaces, I am developing a class on DVD that will be released this fall. I also enjoy traveling, working in my garden and walking in my peaceful, southwest Houston neighborhood.

I am available to speak on creativity,

to demonstrate water-media to art groups,

and to conduct workshops.
