My involvement with art has been continuous with just a few pauses along the way, especially in the 60s. I am totally committed to the appreciation of art and garner tremendous enjoyment from the painting process. Oil painting is my main interest and the working of this medium has been my passion for the past twenty years. Having recently spent 10 years in my hometown of Washington DC and a sojourn of 30 years in northern California, I have finally settled down in the Pacific Northwest. The light and colors are different here but the oil and canvases are the same.
