Bio

admin — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 22:23:36 +0000

I was born in San Diego in 1949 and traveled with my Navy family around the states and Japan til graduating from high school in Annandale, Va.

I did three semesters at the University of New Hampshire in the Art Department, dropped out to hitch-hike the East Coast a bit then came to Fort Wayne to go to the Division of General and Technical Studies at Indiana University, receiving an Associates degree in Commercial Art in 1974.

Some classes were taught at the Fort Wayne School of Fine Arts, where I fell in love with the School and the Neighborhood it was in, West Central. The day I graduated, May 1974, I moved into the Neighborhood, and have lived here ever since.

For my graduating class, I did a T-Shirt and then started a tiny T-Shirt Printing Company, Designing and Silk-Screening, which morfted into Airbrushed Clothing.

During this time I rented several different spaces for gallery, studio for me and studio space for other artists. Woman’s Work, A Building Gallery, B Building Gallery, The Art Factory, ArtUp and now West Central Studio.

I have always painted. When I turned 50 in 1999 I realized all I really wanted was to paint. I went to three West Central friends, explained I wanted to do a series of House Portraits, , they agreed to commission me and I was off.

West Central is a magical place of gorgeously restored Old Homes and open hearted and minded people.

As the series went on, different personality types began being represented in the finished pieces and that became my focus. “I attempt to put a bit of the personality of the owner into the painting by playing with line, color and perspective”. That’s my line.

As of today I’ve completed 125 commissioned pieces, and I would love to paint your Home, Business, or Vacation Home.
