About The Artist

I call Massachusetts my first home, but for most of my adult life I have been transplanted all over the United States until I moved to St. Louis, Missouri 12 years ago and now call it home. I started working with Oil Paintsticks in 2000, I also had a career change, and began working in the world of flowers. I combined both forms of art, in 2007 when I painted "Frozen Rose". Working intimately with flowers almost every day gave me a true in depth sense of what I finally decided to make my primary focus. I began to painting my impressions of the structural look at flowers in 2008, turning traditional still life florals, inside-out. I currently teach workshops on Oil Paintsticks and am a member of Art St. Louis, Projekt 30, Northern Arts Council and World Art Foundation. There will always be a flower blooming and a flower for any occasion. It's just about exposing them for what they really are..?
