About the Artist

I have two sides to my artistic interests. I paint with a classical realistic style. I try to give tribute to the teachings of my Grandmother for a love and respect of people and nature. I am also drawn to the artwork of the Pacific Northwest Coast Native Americans, learning about their culture, and wanting to share what I have learned. To see more of my work go to this link at the bottom of the page. http://www.urban-plein-air.wetpaint.com/ Thank you.

Lavendar Chiffon Dahlia

Oil on Canvas
45.72cm x 35.56cm

Lavendar Chiffon Dahlia
This is one of the many Dahlia that I grew and painted from in my garden.

Mother Winkler

2006
Oil on Canvas
60.96cm x 45.72cm

Mother Winkler
My husbands Great Grandmother. I have to admit I painted her from a 1947 photo taken in Chicago. I never actually met her but I absolutely adored the pose they caught her in. She was attending a wedding. I wish I knew how to find the photography studio to ask about the rights. She is not for sale but I do use her to show that I can do a portrait.

Karl

2006
Oil on Canvas
25.4cm x 25.4cm

Karl
A friends champion "looker". Karl seems to like sitting for attention.

Chloe

2006
Oil on Canvas
30.48cm x 30.48cm

Chloe
This portrait of Chloe was painted from photos after she passed away. She was rescued off the streets of Chicago and was a devoted and loving friend.

Carrie

1989
Oil on Canvas
30.48cm x 40.64cm

Carrie
I painted this many years ago and still use it for a portrait example. It was "Spirit Week" at the school and they all dressed up.

Blue Lace top Hydrangea

2002
Oil on Canvas
35.56cm x 45.72cm

Blue Lace top Hydrangea
My Grandparents had this plant growing under their kitchen window and I took a start off it many years ago. Mine grows by my front porch.

New Zealand Poppie

2006
Oil on Canvas
27.94cm x 35.56cm

New Zealand Poppie
This is from a New Zealand Yellow Poppy plant I purchased intentionally to paint from. I just loved the transparency and the shadows in the petals. The Bee was an extra added attraction during photographing the flower.

Just the Ticket

Oil on Canvas
60.96cm x45.72cm

Just the Ticket
Keith is the rider. Ticket is the best cutting horse this real cowboy ever met.

Autumn Crescendo J. P. West Road

2002
Oil on Canvas
45.72cm x 60.96cm

Autumn Crescendo J. P. West Road
These people actually planted the trees just for the autumn colors. They have since replaced the fence with one not as picturesque. I had my husband take photos for me and at one point he had to stand nearly on top of a large active ant hill to get the angle down the fence line.

Keith

Oil on Canvas
60.96cm x 45.72cm

Keith
A real live cowboy still. A decendant of the Donner party. He let my friend take 65 sides the day he posed for photos for me.

Oil on Canvas

Autumn in Scholls Stable Yard
I went with my Pacific Plein Air Painters to a home that raised Fjord horses. I was instead taken by the Autumn Maple leaves in the stable yard. The horses were beautiful but the leaves stood still.

End of the Historic Scholls Tile Factory

2008
Oil on Gesso Board
27.94cm x 35.56

End of the Historic Scholls Tile Factory
Award Winner Expressions of Nature.Expressions of Self show The Kingstad Gallery. This factory used to make clay drainage tile in huge brick kilns. Behind it now is a plant nursery. Crates and all sorts of items are piled around the building. I love the burnt sienna in all the clay, the blue of the old junk cabinets, and the rust on tin.

A Little Light on History

2008
Oil on Gesso Board
35.56cm x 27.94cm

A Little Light on History
A piece of corrugated metal roofing has peeled away, letting light into the abandoned tile factory and I happened to catch it as it struck on the old kiln chimney. Sold

Acrylic on Canvas
35.56cm x 35.56cm

When Sky Spirit's daughter became lost, Grizzly found her and shared his home. There she grew, wed and gave birth to a new creation. These were the ancestors of the tribes. Today the bear on my door post guards me. I must guard the Grizzly.
