I am a professional artist and graphic designer who was living in a beautiful old village where the kings of Spain are buried in a famous monastery. Now I am in a beautiful small town in Oregon. And they are similar in many ways.

I grew up in Little Rock, Arkansas, then lived in California and Oregon, before I came to Barcelona.
Since coming to Europe I traveled and lived in Holland, Mexico, Costa Rica and southern China, now I am back in Oregon. All of these places and people are reflected in some way in my painting.

The study of traditional art and academic techniques, copying the Old Masters, as well as my background in graphic design - form the base for the contemporary style of my work.

I found my own "voice" in the latest organic abstracts- part landscape, part human shape on a floating white field.

I keep adding to my repertoire of little 5 x 7 inch paintings. See them on the blog Painting in Spain and Oregon. Some I did for the goat and llama refuge were recently described as Folk Art influenced.

 

Graphic design and computer art projects have included websites, brochures, posters, and multimedia-CD presentations. My most recent website was for a jewellery designer in Nerja, Spain.
