WELCOME

Thanks for stopping by my online gallery. Working from my in-home studio in La Mesa, California, I've been painting in soft pastel for about eight years now. I employ a mixed-media technique using ink/watercolor underpaintings, and a finish layer of pastel. With a background in illustration and fine art photography, pastel posed a little more of a challenge, with a lot more of the versatility that I enjoy.

WHAT'S HAPPENING...

Currently-- Six of my original works are available from December 1 - 16, 2008 in the "Alcove Gallery" at Southwestern Gallery 23 in Spanish Village, Balboa Park, along with a few of my giclee prints. 

November 4 - December 4, 2008
