"Since moving to Sonoma County two years ago, I have been drawn to the rural landscapes and scenes that suggest a simpler life. In my paintings, I have combined my love of the rolling hills and my experience with animal portraiture. I enjoy winding my way over country roads looking for photo opportunities of serene cows, sleek horses and saucy roosters that I can later turn into paintings. I am interested in capturing the light and aura of these scenes in my artwork."
