Homage to my enjoyment of my trail rides. I go in the hills of Hollywood, on the beach, up the mountain and gazing down at the city and the sea. This is ruminating on that simple c...

This time it is my sons sketch of a Dunkleosteus. The layering of realities in my experience as a parent. I paint to find my joy. It is my privilege of parenting, looking into his fe...

I ruminate on the act of rearing. These paintings are portraits of my life, both the interior conceptual and exterior physical worlds. The overlay painting if of my shadow as I train a colt at the ranch, our home in the distance. Viviennes painting of a unicorn underneath. This is a love song to the decisions of rearing. Years ago, at a crossroads of my life, I was offered a job as one of the elephant trainers at a zoo in the north of England. It was a fun job interview and I liked the German lady...

She strives to convey her belief that all things, all beings, all life and non-life, share equal significance and are essential to the whole. "I began my art quest by taking a few classes at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design, then enrolled in Kim English's class at the Art Student's Leaque of Denver. After four years with Kim and functioning as his class monitor, I had the opportunity to participate in a painting group with Richard Schmid in Loveland Colorado. I painted there with him for six years. I have taken workshops from such masters as David Leffel, Sherrie McGraw...
