About Me
My Background
My Inspiration
My Background
Art has always been a part of my life. When I was young, I studied art history and oil painting at the Oak Park Art League and local workshops. Art was a hobby, not a vocation. Now in retirement, it is a passion and my medium is Soft Pastels.
My Medium
My Inspiration
My Background
I came to pastel painting for the richness and the intensity of color which best captures landscapes in a way that watercolor and oil paint do not.

My Inspiration
The inspiration for my work comes from my travels. Foremost my excursions to Door County, Wisconsin, Travers City, Michigan and the Cook County Forest Preserves. I attempt to evoke the mood of the place and capture how the light and landscape creates a feeling.
