Over the years I exhibited in every major show in the Northwest, displayed at the Pike Place Market and created pieces for individuals and private galleries.  I also had the honor to teach the medium that I loved, Pen and Ink and was fortunate to see people that “couldn’t draw a straight line” create pieces that were, in my opinion, masterpieces.

After a number of years I stepped away from the art profession due to family needs and went into the sale of communications equipment which satisfied, for the most part, my creative urges as the profession was all about creativity and I had the opportunity to see and meet new challenges every day.  During this time I continued to create, took up wood carving, papermaking and jewelry design and creation and continued with corporate and private commissions and many collaborative projects.

As an artist I love the possibility of passing on knowledge, ideas and creative knowledge and these are the things that I hope to achieve at the studio.  So please, if you have a moment, stop in, have some tea and a moment of conversation and let’s see where life takes us.  Till then live well, create and love life for all that it offers……
