I am a Northwest painter who is represented by Blackfish Gallery in Portland, OR. I have paintings in the permanent collections of Microsoft Corp., Redmond, WA, Oregon Health Sciences University, Portland, University of Arkansas,Fayetteville, Oregon State University, etc. I received my B.A. from the University of Arkansas in l977 and my Master of Fine Arts from the University of Arkansas in l981. I have lived on the Oregon Coast for the past 25 years and my paintings reflect the landscape of my surroundings. Tideflats, river banks, and marshlands are often my subject matter.
