Born in Canada and raised in Minnesota, it wasn't until I found myself in Atlanta in my 30s that I started painting with regularity and was in my first art show. In the last 5 years, I've really tried to focus on oil portraits but still find time to sketch and doodle when I can. I have found it a great outlet of what is in my head.

Growing up I loved to scribble in the margins and doodle on desks. It was something I always enjoyed but I never really gave it much serious thought. It wasn’t until much later in life that I waded into this knack of doodling and rolled up my sleeves to see what I could do. This is as much of an exploration and learning as anything else, and I hope you enjoy my work as much as I have enjoyed creating it.
