My background includes many venues of fine art, illustration & design and printing.
I enjoy traditional and digital modes of creating art and love to combine them.
I am passionate about protecting our environment and raise pheasants in my wildlife
sanctuary.
As an artist, I am a communicator ~ a listening and receiving station. I transmit via
my experience of submerging myself into the landscape.
Most of my artworks are derived from reverence and inspiration of nature.
As an instructor I enjoy teaching, sharing, learning and exploring with my students.
and I sincerely endeavor to assist them in their design education.
