I am a native Kansan who received my art training from the Kansas City Art Institute, The Wichita Center for the Arts and workshops with Edgar Whitney, Robert Wood, Milford Zornes, Stephan Quiller, Mike Desatnick, Georg Shook and Judi Betts.

My home and studio are located in the country ten miles southeast of Lindsborg where the landscape, flowers and animals I love to paint surround me.  Located on the property is the restored Olive Springs Schoolhouse built in 1885 which serves as an art gallery to display my paintings and prints, along with memorabilia of the country school era.
