Melbourne based artist, originally from the USA. After retiring after a career in IT, I devoted myself full time to my arts practice. I have been an active member of the Open Studio at The Art Room in Footscray for over 10 years, attending numerous courses and workshops in drawing and painting fundamentals and advanced lessons in colour theory, life drawing, composition and abstractions among others. My interest lies in depicting scenes of life with a surreal edge. I use an array of media, oils, acrylic, pastels, graphite and colour pencils and collage.
