“Drawing has been part of my life ever since I can remember. By the time I was in Junior High, I knew that art would become an even bigger part of my life and career. After graduating from Idaho State University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a certificate in Secondary School Art, I went on to teach art at Shoshone-Bannock Senior High School for 17 years and then at Marsh Valley High School for 11 years.

Over the years, I have learned the art of many mediums – ceramic and oil painting being my favorites. It wasn’t until I began to paint on location, however, that I learned more about light and color, and the changes that occur in the fleeting moments of the sun’s arc. My studies and experience have helped me paint the mountains and natural inhabitants of Pocatello – where I have lived most of my life and the primary influence of my work.”
