I have always been drawn to color — how light reflects in a person’s eyes, or the deep cobalt blue sky just after a fading sunset, for example. My first painting at the age of twelve, Angel Island, sold at an art fair for students in Marin, California. Even then I was fascinated by the interplay of light upon sky, water and earth.

May you enjoy the art presented here as much as I loved making it and learning about the Light that permeates all of us and our earth.
