Background:
For eighteen years, I co-owned History of the World Fine Art Gallery with artist Jack Gunter on the south end of Camano Island. We continue to collaborate on various art projects. I received my MFA from the University of New York at Albany, NY in 1983. I am known as a hard edged realist painter, primarily using soft pastels. I have done several stainless steel sculptures for public art collections and plan to use my new space for more of these projects. In the future I expect that my magical acreage will nurture my career as an artist and provide a place for others to expand their horizons as well.
