Born in California, I spent half of my life here and half in Hawaii, with a 5-year stint in Colorado before moving back to SoCal. Coronado is the perfect home for me. My love of the ocean and my love of color guides me to create paintings of places to immerse myself in – whether a beach scene, a mountain landscape, or a spot under the sea. Looking at these scenes brings me peace, and I like to think they do the same for others. If I could, I would embed the sounds of the waves or the wind into the artwork. My paintings hang in Emerald C Gallery in Coronado.
