About The Artist

I feel fortunate to have been born and raised near the California Coastlines. Most of my younger years were spent in, on or under the soft, salty waters from Playa Del Rey to San Clemente. I began painting in my 60's after a fall that left me in the hospital for 2 days then confined to my home for 90 days. My son Jeff encouraged me to try painting and so it all began. My many wonderful memories poured out of me onto canvas without lessons or any idea of what a color wheel is. I continue to be inspired by the beauty of each imperfect day, flower, face, dream, and mostly the raw beauty of nature, unadorned.
