I grew up in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains in Connecticut.  

I began lessons in oil painting when I was nine.  Flaming Ferns, shown in this portfolio, is an example my work when I was 12. 

I began using acrylics because they worked well in my travelling lifestyle.  My path has offered the opportunity to linve in several states, the Carolinas, California, Virginia, Texas, Hawaii, Knasas and Masachusetts. 

My paintins have found homes as far away as Jampan, Norway and South America.
