Painting is my way to be with God and His creation. I want to soak it in, understand it as well as I can, then capture the special beauty of life. I love being outside and interacting with others and of course, painting, which is a perfect fit for plein air. Nature never fails to reward and challenge me with its constantly changing colors, light, shadow, and atmosphere – making every painting a journey of new opportunity and growth.

I also own a graphic design studio called, Red Red Design. The name comes from the old song, “When the Red Red Robin Comes Bob-Bob-Bobbin’ Along” by Al Jolson.
