I have lived in Nelson NV. for most of my life. I feel like I am a part of this desert. I have explored and been inspired by the desert and I believe it shows in my Mixed-Multi- Media artwork. I have had an Art Gallery in Searchlight for 20 years. I painted a large mural on it depicting some of the history of Searchlight. Funded in part by the NAC ( Nevada Arts Council) I was chosen to represent Nevada with an ornament for the White House Christmas tree in 2008, in which I painted the Duplex head frame and the Carson City Dollar.
