A wise man once told me I should paint for no other reason than the love of painting. If I did this honestly, those who viewed my work would feel this communication, giving them the same love and joy. I've attended Artist's Rides in South Dakota, painted the western scene, taken workshops from amazing artists and sculpted with George Carlson in Idaho, learning by watching a Master. I'm a Signature Member of Montana Watercolor Society. I've shown my work in juried shows and galleries from the Northwest to California, and in between, painting for the love of trying.
