I am an acrylic painter from Springfield, Oregon. I am self taught. The colors and shapes of nature, and of everyday life inspire me to paint and make prints. The act of painting is meditation. When I paint I completely relax and get lost in the moment. I am also an avid gardener and a landscaper by trade. My daily experiences outdoors provide a continual source of artistic inspiration. I want to share the beauty in our world through my art.
