I was born in, or near, Drain Oregon, and grew up in a remote sawmill camp
owned by my father and his partner. I’m sure this is where I grew to
love nature and the landscape so much as we were in a
beautiful setting of steep hills and forest. There were wild flowers
in
abundance, ferns and moss, along with the quiet and starry nights of
a place without
electricity.
Art education began at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where I
moved
when 20. After coming back to Oregon I attended Umpqua Community College
and the University of Oregon and finished with a Masters Degree in Fine Art.
Along
the way I have taught painting, printmaking, and pursued my own art with
diligence and perseverance. I began showing my work in Portland Oregon
in 1976 and still do. I have been in many group and solo shows and am
fortunate enough to be in a multitude of corporate and private collections.
