About

I live in beautiful Bend, Oregon. In addition to loving to paint, I enjoy outdoor activities like kayaking and hiking. I also love to cook, read and be with my precious dog, Luna. Urban Sketching Kayaking Litter Free Bend My pet peeve is litter. Every now and then I go pick up a bag or two. Now we have the Broomsmen in Bend who have taken it to a whole new level. They are doing very important work to protect the animals in beautiful Bend and beyond. Thank you! Bend Painting Parties I have retired from hosting Bend Painting Parties. I had a blast and I hope you did too. It was a great run! Keep painting everyone.  Commissions I am honored to say I have over 80 satisfied customers of custom portraits of both animals and humans. If you are interested in this service, please see details here. Awards I am extremely proud to have won several awards over the years. The world is filled with talented artists and to be selected for any award is an honor. Most recently, I received a Benchmark Award from Art In The High Desert in 2016.
