I am a self taught Painter, I paint mainly scenery with Acrylics, however i do enjoy the challenge with oils.

All my work is watercolor medium. I find it a challenging medium but also one of mystery with the flow of paint and water. I have been fortunate to win numerous awards. Being an outdoor enthusiast I find animals intriguing and wonderful subjects to paint. Flowers and people are other favorite subjects to paint.

All paint impressionistic landscapes in oil & oil pastel with my fingers using Winsor & Newton and Sennelier Oil bars. I also paint abstracts in mixed media. I do art shows, commissioned art sales, teach private art lessons & I also do performance painting. I am the gallery installation coordinator for the VineArts Gallery & I`m on the leadership team for the VineArts ministry at Vineyard Boise, an artist collaborative with the vision to encourage, minister to, & educate artists of all ages, genders, and skill levels. I desire God to be revealed through the art that I do. Thus the name of my business "REVELATORART".

Commissions accepted, workshop instruction, studio by appointment.

My work stems from a desire to steer away from conventional realism. At the heart of my efforts is what is best described as the conscious act of grasping what is real and recognizable then transforming it into something else while retaining it's sense of identity. This world lies between the surreal world and the real world with sometimes a mythical sense of atmosphere.

I relocated back to Idaho from the south. I am working with the 4-h design team for the arts program. Would like to see more art in the schools for the youth of today. I have 2 yrs of college majoring in art. I do art for the release of stress and enjoyment. I experiment with all mediums. My work is mostly abstract and some still life. My sand paintings are of the native American culture. I do freelance work and plan on preparing a place for local artist to study and research all necessary materials to complete a body of artwork for adults and students in a way that gives people a way to express their emotions and a place to work. Art therapy is good for the soul and I would like to use this concept to help others work through their feelings and put their work on display.
