My art has evolved through several stages, which have generally paralleled my place of residence. The Western Regional movement made its impact during my two decades in Wyoming and a more Impressionist style was an influence during my years in Hawaii. The Plein Air Style of the Early California Impressionists has been with me from my early California education in art and has emerged as my dominant mode of expression as I work from my studio in Pauma Valley. This area was chosen for its beauty and cultural diversity.

I work in oil, watercolor, and egg tempera, depending on the subject and my response to it. My field studies are frequently used to construct larger pieces in my studio.
