Artist Statement:
I am an artist and life long
resident of the historic
Indiana town, Vincennes. I
have been painting for over 30
years, but more seriously in
the past 14. Still Life and
portraiture are a particular
interest of mine and I love
color. Most of my work
features a bold use of color.
Although the paintings on
display in the portfolio are
acrylic I also work in oils.
I have done some watercolor
and have a strong background
in drawing.
I have a degree from Vincennes
University in Modern Foreign
Language and have taken many
art classes there. VU is a
National Association of Art
and Design Schools accredited
school. I have also studied
art at the University of
Southern Indiana.
I worked as a production
painter for wildlife sculptor
Jules Bouillet for two and
half years. There I learned
to airbrush and handpaint on
the resin-cast ducks produced
at Shaker Prairie Shop.
At the present time, I and my
neighbor and friend, Anita
Billings, do a lot of
"temporary" art. This is done
on store front windows as
advertising for a business or
decoration for some of our
downtown events - such as the
Christmas Stroll and the
Watermelon ...

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
Still Life painting. I am fascinated by light and color and shapes. The objects around me inform many of my paintings. I also love portraits and enjoy portraying people in a setting where they are surrounded by "things" that are meaningful to them. |

| Your Personal Biography |
Born in Vincennes, IN in 1957. I graduated from Lincoln High School and Vincennes University where I received an AA in Modern Foreign Language.
I studied art at Vincennes University, Indiana University and the University of Southern Indiana.
I have worked for wildlife artist Jules Bouillet as a production painter and now I am the co-owner of Blue Moon Gallery and Studios in Vincennes IN.
This year I was asked to do an ornament for the George Rogers Clark National Historic Park here in Vincennes IN. It was a part of the National Holiday in the Parks theme for the White House. This is the second time I have had the privelege of doing a White House ornament. The first time being in 1994 when the theme was the Twelve Days of Christmas. This years ornament can be viewed online at National Holidays in the Park. There is a slideshow of all the decorations for the tree. Mine is number 132 in the lineup.
