I paint portraits to explore the individual characteristics of each of my subjects My paintings are realistic and expressive. Many works are larger than life-size. Subjects are frequently in the performing arts, but I also find satisfaction in depicting a special moment or someone in quiet reflection. My goal is to capture the essence of a subject which may be at the height of an expressive flourish on stage, or a moment of quiet thought. Through these portraits, I invite a viewer to discover and reflect upon my subjects personality traits, behaviors and tendencies in their defining moments. I have been working in `the arts' all my life. 1 have a BFA from Boise State University, emphasis in painting and art history - Magnum Cum Laude. I am an award winning artist having participated in 100+ exhibitions. In addition to being a fine art painter, I am president of Boise Open Studios Collective Organization (BOSCO), a Treasure Valley Artists Association member, a Boise Art Museum docent, Garden City Library "Books & Brushes" curator and a painting instructor. I also am an actor and perform in many of the Treasure Valley community theaters.
