Thank you for a wonderful 2025
and supporting my artistic en-devours.
Painting is my passion as a visual artist. Working with oils in my Onalaska home studio and outside, plein air. I'm creating art inspired by my surroundings in order to connect and engage others to embrace the extraordinary. Always searching to discover new techniques to try on canvas.
