I have studied art since grade school earning an undergraduate from UMC in the 80's in General Studies. My first gallery show was in Austin, Texas in the 1980's and was all computer paintings. Since then I have been a member of CAL, MMAA, and the Fulton Art House. Art and life change continuously. I constantly strive to test and grow my abilities by showing up and participating. Experimentation is a big part of my art. I recently started producing nonrepresentational art. In 2015 I attended a Jam session in Washington State by Diana Sanford. Then I started learning encaustics (hot wax) with Elise Rugolo. The piece I have submitted is a result of these experiences.
