About

Yes! I say yes to LIFE! I am grateful that you are here, and that we are experiencing it all together. I’m an artist, designer, innovator, creative, intuitive spirit having a temporary human experience on this planet Earth. Being joyful on purpose, my art reflects that joy.

I hope my art brings you joy, “FROM HEART TO ART”. Interpreting the love in your heart onto canvas is my personal joy and reason for being. Think about a special person, pet, or maybe a place that is dear to you, and imagine having that image created in paint to last for hundreds of years. Portrait painting has remained my passion throughout the years, and has kept my creative abilities in top form. I am just thrilled when the finished painting is presented, and people are delighted with the results!

In addition to teaching oil painting at Arts & Crafts Studio in Costa Mesa, I give portrait demonstrations at the Orange County Fair during the summer, and for art leagues throughout the year.

Please Contact me with questions, and I will be delighted to help you bring your dream into reality.
