Painting is an escape that allows me to de-stress after challenging days at work.  I started painting in high school without much success and 40 years later I am investing time to reacquaint myself with the “joy of painting”. 


This is my first attempt at oil painting, and though I was intimidated at first, I have discovered how versatile oils can be as a medium.  The slow drying times allow for maximum creativity and the ability to change the entire product (as I have had to do on occasion).


I tend to focus on landscapes as there is much beauty in nature.
