Artist bio

I graduated with a BFA from Kendall College of Art and Design, Grand Rapids, Michigan. I have also studied at Olivet College, Olivet, MI, and Western Michigan University. I worked for over 20 years as a graphic designer and illustrator creating package design, advertising programs, and television commercials. I also taught graphic design as adjunct faculty at Monroe County Community College. I have been an artist in residence at The Collingwood Arts Center. I was a featured artist with The Arts Commission of Greater Toledo in 2007. Most recently I was honored with the Best of Show and Picasso Awards at the Arts Commission's Parkwood Gallery, 2009 Salon des Refuses.
I paint working primarily with oils on canvas. Currently, I work and reside in The Historic Old West End of Toledo, OH.
