I am a contemporary oil painter based in the Pacific Northwest. I began my artistic path with writing then later migrated from the written word to visual poetry. After years of self-study in photography and visual composition, my focus took on a new form of expression in abstract painting. The shape of my work is carved from emotions,  the atmosphere, and search for my own personal expression and serenity.  My work has been on exhibit at local galleries and businesses. I recently opened my own studio in Bellingham, WA and welcome visitors by appointment.
