I have been a professional artist for over 40 years. I primarily work in acrylic and pastel mediums. The immediacy of both pastels and acrylics suit me very well. Pastels were my first love. They have such a lovely array of colors. Candy for the eyes. I have also been using a medium called Open Acrylics for some time now. The Open Acrylics dry slower than regular acrylic paints but faster than oil paint. This allows time for some manipulation of paint and water cleanup.
My subject matter of choice is the southwest landscape and the Rocky Mountains. I especially enjoy painting the skies. The sky gives me a sense of space and freedom.
I am signature artist with Women Artists of the West, Pastel Society of the West Coast, Pastel Society of New Mexico and the Pastel Society of Colorado.
My paintings are included in private, governmental and corporate collections.
