Since 1960, Montana has been my home.  It has been my inspiration for numerous paintings and art projects.

I have enjoyed creative work all my life.  I started painting in the early seventies and got serious about it in the eighties.

Although I studied drawing and painting at the university, I consider myself self-taught.  When the occasion presented itself over the years, I took workshops with the painters I most admired.

I enjoy the impressionist painter very much.  I love to look at the brushwork and imagine what the artist was thinking as he or she made the selection of color and form.

I consider my art education an ongoing living experience.  I paint because I enjoy it so much I can’t imagine not painting.
