Joy increases in the presence of 3 things:

                                           Love, Faih, and Beauty

Professional Experience -
In 2006, I was chosen to participate in the Artistic Infusion Program at the United States Mint. This involves designing and creating art for monetary coins, commemorative coins, and Congressional medals.

Teaching -
I developed and instructed a series of Watercolor Workshops using my own painting techniques.
Since 1979 I have conducted Intermediate and Advanced Painting Workshops sponsored by Arts Councils, Colleges, and regional Art Associations.

I've also taught Beginning Painting and Drawing classes and workshops for various organizations locations.
Fine Art -
I received a degree in Fine Art in 1979, and have focused on painting in Watercolor. My paintings are exhibited widely in juried art competitions, and juried fine art festivals.
My paintings are in the collections of: Kaiser Permanente Hospital, Calaveras County Arts Council, Calaveras County Chamber of Commerce, Regional & International Advertising (all in CA), Museum of Green Bay, Wisconsin
