I graduated from Oberlin College in Ohio with a major in Studio Art, then moved to Berkeley to discover what the West Coast had to offer. In the late sixties it offered up the Mendocino coast where I have made my home first at the ocean’s edge and now at the forest’s rim. I work from my imagination, my inner vision and emotions, inspired and informed by home, garden, forest, fields, seasons, the ever-changing nature, which I explore and illuminate in oils, acrylics and mixed media collage. I have played with many mediums including fabric paper maché and beadwork, but always find myself returning to oil.
