The Artist
I work out of my studio at the  family farm in West
Virginia, where the inspiration for most of my
work is found close to home…historic sites,
farms, animals, my neighbors and small local
towns.

I paint with acrylics, usually on canvas and
sometimes in miniature.  The best description for
my art is  friendly, gentle and sometimes   
humorous.

My paintings are shown in a number of places
locally, at established regional shows, at my
studio and at our bed and breakfast, Cider Mill
House.

I have received a few awards, belong to a few
societies, but what is most rewarding and
important to me, is that moment when one of my
paintings makes a connection with a viewer.
I hope you will find something on this site that
speaks to you too.
A hot day for artists at the North
Mountain Arts Festival!
Our farm...and some days even my studio...is also home to 6 amazing Pygora goats (Angora
Pygmy cross breed), about 25 Guinea Hens, 4 roosters, 5 hens and 30 or so head of
contented, grass fed beef cattle.
