I came to Yakima from the Los Angeles area in 1976 to visit my aunt and never left.

I retired from my “day job” in 2015
looking forward to painting more, primarily in water-soluble oils and acrylic.

You can see many of my pieces around the Yakima area. Look for my work in Yakima Windows, Galleries, Tasting Rooms, Restaurants, and at Special Events throughout the year.

Animals & Pet Portraits

Essentially self-taught, light and tone are the most important elements in a painting for me and the most difficult to achieve.

Together with my love of animals, my Animals & Pet Portraits page is devoted to that combination. All the while making a lasting memory of a cherished family member.
