Welcome to my website! I am a graphic designer who is now retired and renewing my love of painting. I have enjoyed a creative life, starting with painting lessons when I was nine, winning a Draw-the-Beatles contest when I was thirteen, capturing the world (China, Italy, England) in plein aire watercolors, writing and illustrating two children's books, and now oil painting.
