ABOUT THE ARTIST
I started painting in 1989, but became a serious painter 10 years later after retiring from a management position with Ameritech. I've participated in several artist-in-residence programs, including two National Parks; Sleeping Bear Dunes and Indiana Dunes. I belong to several art organizations including the Great Lakes Pastel Society, and the Michigan Plein Air Painters. I am a master painter with the Great Lakes Plein Air Painters Association, a signature member of The Pastel Society of America, and a member of the Master Circle of the International Association of Pastel Societies.
