My journey in art has taken me to many places, both physically and intellectually. I tend to embrace the beauty of classic realism in my painting and drawing, but continue to search for my own contemporary approach to modern portraiture and design. As I always strive to step toward a fresher presentation, I love testing and developing new techniques and ideas with creative intuition.
I have enjoyed presenting insightful demonstrations, teaching classes. and judging and jurying art shows in and around Texas. I currently teach painting and drawing in west Houston.
It’s always a pleasure to work with my local art community in the greater Houston area, and I currently serve on the boards of Houston Civic Arts Association, Houston Art Society, and previously West Houston Area Artists.
Earning a BFA in studio art at the University of Texas/Austin gave me the academic training in drawing, painting, sculpture, and graphic design. I have furthered my education in painting oil and pastel, portraiture, and sculpture by attending classes at Glassell, Museum of Fine Arts Houston, University of Houston, and many, many workshops and classes presented by outstanding professional artists. It is an honor to have received many awards both locally and nationally.
Thank you to everyone who attended our September Meet & Greet! We had a great evening, getting to know some new members and sharing examples of our work!
