The Artist 


I've painted all my life.  It's something I've always loved to do.

My Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting was obtained at
Washington University School of Fine Arts.

For many years I explored the composition, color and shape of seashells, fruit and flowers and exhibited my paintings in New York City, Fire Island and Skaneateles, NY, St. Louis, MO and New London CT.

A chance encounter in a New York City shelter, the adoption of a Pit Bull named Diamond and the bond we formed inspired me to explore her undeniable personality, zest for life and precious soul in paint.

My desire to provide a portrait for you that celebrates your pet and to help those who wait for homes in rescues and shelters have been the inspiration for 

Pets In Paint. 

Through my portraits I will honor the unique spirit of your pet.
