I have been painting since I was a child in New Zealand, took every art class that I could during school. I came to the United States as an adult and became a US citizen in the bi-centennial year.

I look forward to sharing my paintings with you. The love of my life is painting! My favorite subjects are - everything! I paint portraits, seascapes, still life, fantasy art, cats, and landscapes.

I have been painting since I was a child in New Zealand, took every art class that I could during school. I came to the United States as an adult and became a US citizen in the bi-centennial year.

I look forward to sharing my paintings with you. The love of my life is painting! My favorite subjects are - everything! I paint portraits, seascapes, still life, fantasy art, cats, and landscapes. I absolutely LOVE doing miniatures even though they take as long as a larger painting. My paintings are done in a realistic style sometimes bordering on impressionism. I also accept commission work.

I look at everything I see as a possible subject for painting, and when I pick a subject I paint the "essence and deeper quality" that I see. There is something spiritual about creating a painting, I believe that painting is expressing one's inner creative light, and I paint from my soul. My muse is always very active.

Enjoy browsing my work here and seeing the beauty of our lives through my eyes. Join me in exploring the magickal moments in the world around us! I hope you enjoy this artwork as much as I enjoy creating it. If any of my art resonates with you, I have achieved my goal as an artist.

I am primarily self-taught. Studied under some wonderful professional artists, and have taken workshops that I thoroughly enjoyed. I am a national award winning artist and will continue to enter juried and local shows.
