ABOUT THE ARTIST

I began painting with my friend Gary Patrick Drake in Connecticut in 2004. He became my art mentor and taught me how to paint, it was challenging, inspiring, and fun.  

After relocating to Anchorage I attended the Anchorage Art Guild Show in 2014 and joined Susan Tolliver’s Art Group, eventually joining the Guild.   After Susan moved, I painted with Jill Baker and now I’m painting at Mudpies with Susan Howe. 

ARTIST STATEMENT 

Art is personal, it has to grab me, speak to me, and invoke feelings.
