Message from the Artist

After 27 years of working in all areas of Special Education I retired to Cambria on the Central Coast. In my paintings I hope my viewers will be taken away to a relaxed place as they reflect upon the fog laden coastal range or view something that they can identify with from their past experiences.  I usually paint with oil but often experiment with other mediums.  I belong to the Cambria Allied Arts Association, Cayucos Art Association, Paso Robles Art Association & San Luis Obispo Art Center.
