2009 News: 

Dear Friends and Collectors,

What a great year! I have been so very blessed!  Most all of the paintings on my website have been sold- but do not worry- many new paintings are being painted and are already in the galleries that represent me. Usually by the time they are up online they are sold!

My recent work has gotten brighter and more colorful. Also am doing some really LARGE paintings. So if you need "wall-full" of a big landscape- check out my 3 shows scheduled for 2009!

Thank you collectors for your comissions! I have enjoyed doing every one of them! This past year has been really special and very busy. Below are some of the announcements and honors that I was blessed with in 2008. Please email me if you would like to see some new and available paintings! I am looking forward to hearing from you in 2009!

Thank you and God Bless you!
