Painting / Fine Art By Idaho Artists

The work is characterized by nearly minimalist two-color 3-D objects, hovering between painting and sculpture, art and architecture. Material is stretched over an artist-made wood framework, like a tent, and painted. The objects don't only refer to themselves, and don’t try to explain everything. The works are presently represented by artspacewarehouse.com of Los Angeles, Zurich and Cologne.

I have a love for all things in nature- be it the fauna, the flora or the landscape. I love color and light, and try to capture my passion for my subjects in my paintings. I am a flexible artist and work in a number of mediums. I welcome any commissions- don't hesitate to contact me if you have any queries.

I am retired and able to devote myself full time to my painting. I am a member of the Nampa Art Guild, from which I derive great fun and pleasure. I am also involved with the Idaho Watercolor Society, The Plein Air Painters of Idaho, and the Idaho Centennial Art Group. I try to paint en plein aire as much as possible . . . join me out there or at my studio.

Having suppressed painting for many years in pursuit of my education and supporting a young family, I have rekindled my love for art when I painted an "Umbrella Girl" painting for my daughter and saw the joy and excitement in her eyes. Original Acrylic on Canvas & Watercolor/Ink Artist

I paint because I must! Landscapes of the beautiful world of nature and expressionist images of inner worlds. My formal training was at Boise State and lessons with Dwight Williams of Boise and D.M. Mackenzie of North Scotland. My images have been exhibited in Scotland, Idaho and Oregon.

I am fascinated with showing abstraction in realism and realism in the abstract. My media are drawing, painting, and photo collages, my subject matter: people, landscapes, still lifes. I do portrait commissions and illustrating, am represented in many public and private collections, have exhibited widely, and have received numerous awards. I earned a BA in art education and a Masters in Fine Art from Idaho State University; have taught children and adults, high school and college. Currently I give private lessons and also classes through the ISU Craft Shop and the Pocatello Art Center.

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.
