I
fell in love with 'plein air' painting because it allowed me to
be in beautiful places and to focus on the moment. I strive to
have the viewer want to be in that place in the painting and so
I tend to paint vignettes instead of vast panoramas.
I
have been exhibiting award-winning pastel and oil paintings
since 2002. Born and raised in Santa Barbara, I am a member
of the Santa Barbara Art Association. My work is exhibited in
major art festivals in southern California and continuously
at Gallery Los Olivos in Los Olivos.
