About The Artist

Born in Orange County, California, I have been an artist for over 30 years, and come from a family of artists. My aunt was a published author; my uncle is a professional photographer; my mother was a portrait artist, a professional model and actress in New York City; my sister is an impressionistic artist and pianist; my nephew is an actor, graphic artist and D.J. in Los Angeles, California; and my son is a guitarist. I started my artistic endeavors through the guidance of my mother at a very early age.

My work has been shown in galleries, libraries, musuems and businesses, across the country. Many of my portraits are owned by collectors from around the world. My work can also be viewed on the Ohio Arts Council website, a cooperative effort with the Columbus Metropolitan Library. My paintings decorate the homes of celebrities and notables. One of my portraits is part of the California State Capital Building Archives. I have also taught art at local colleges, and hosted my own drawing show on television. I specialize in realistic portraits. My mediums are: pastel, oil, watercolor, acrylic, and pencil, but I prefer pastel. Great love and attention to detail goes into each portrait I create. Detail and originality is my trademark!

Seven of my pastel portraits of Diana, Princess of Wales, appear in the book: “Diana in Art”, published in 2007.
