MARINA  Oil on canvas   24” x 36”

WELCOME TO MY STUDIO

For over 40 years, I’ve enjoyed painting colorful images of landscapes, seascapes, florals, and people dear to me. Since moving to Palm Desert from the San Francisco Bay Area, my inspiration has shifted from the rolling hills of the north bay and wine country to the rich tapestry that is the desert - the calm after a summer storm, the glorious ombre of sunset, and mosaic of colors found in the mesas and surrounding mountains.

Mostly, I’m drawn to the people from all over the world who’ve chosen this desert gem as their home. It’s these colorful characters who’ve inspired me to focus on portraiture, ever striving to capture unique and diverse personalities on canvas.

Thank you for visiting my online studio. I hope you enjoy your visit and be sure to contact me if interested in purchasing original works or fine art prints, or if you’d like to commission a portrait of someone special.
