After graduating from the School of Art at East Carolina University with a BFA in painting and a double minor in figure drawing and commercial design, I headed to the Outer BanksAlta Painting and it’s been my home ever since. Once here, I was chosen for an Artist in Residence in Dare County. I was busy with advertising, murals and teaching. I have illustrated children’s books and educational materials for Dare County Schools. I also taught painting and drawing for a number of years. I continued to produce illustrations for publications, paint and teach privately. My paintings have won awards and are in permanent collections. Now I enjoy painting in “plein air” or as some like to say an outdoor painter. I hope you will enjoy my oil paintings that depict the Outer Banks’ landscapes with its ocean, dunes, cottages, boats, piers and people and a few from my travels. Feel free to contact me with any questions about my paintings and I would be happy to discuss any commissions with you.
