From a very young age, I was always doodling on paper. It was both intriguing and challenging to draw images that were bouncing around in my head.

I started “serious art” at age 43 (around 1992) as a cartoonist and created editorial cartoons for a local newspaper. Then, started cartooning for various magazines. I have illustrated self-help books for internationally recognized writers. I began transforming my creativity into watercolor, pen & ink, Acrylic, and Gesso paintings around 16 years ago. My work hangs in the United States and European collections. I am passionate about "ART & HEALTH" and have written articles on the positive effects of creating. I have spoken to public & art groups on this very important subject.

I look at the world with a great deal of whimsy and focus on figurative images with depth of character and expression. “I hope that most of my work adds ... positive energy to a space and…. a smile to your face.”
