Like most artists, I grew up making pictures.  But it wasn't until my mid-forties that I received a formal education in drawing and painting when I returned to school in 1995 and earned an M.F.A. from the University of North Carolina in Greensboro in 2002.  I also taught both introductory drawing and art history classes there for several years, as well as introductory design and art history courses as an adjunct faculty member at High Point University.  Now I work from my home studio in Fort Collins, Colorado, where I am putting the finishing touches on a picture book co-written with L.M. Oliver.
