From an early age, I was fascinated by art of the great masters.   Inspired by the works of O'keefe, Van Gogh and Vermeer, I was painting in oils in my early teens. However it was not until many years later that I returned to my passion, the visual arts, studying graphic design and fine art. My work has been selected for student shows and I have received portfolio awards for both graphic design and fine art.  Following the artist's path is a never ending journey and I continue to challenge myself by attending further classes and workshops on a regular basis.
