Info

I paint in my home studio in Portland, Oregon and would love visitors by appointment. I do commissions gladly and can work from your photos or mine and you will not get a painting that looks like a photo or looks copied from one. I do a little Plein Air painting but usually just do a few sketches and notes on site, take plenty of photos (thank goodness for digital cameras) and finish up in the studio. I use photos as reference only and combined with ‘real’ models, memories and an imagination kept honed by years of working with small children, I have developed a style all my own and am not limited on subject matter. As you can see from my Gallery pages, I like variety.

  • If you are interested in prints
  • For prices
  • To talk about a commission
