My early years were spent as a graphic designer which cemented my love for black & white, positive and negative shapes and spaces. An avid outdoors-person; nature, fish & water, to name a few, inspire my artwork. When designing, I've found the power of letting images emerge within other images while attempting to let go of time and outer limitations or restrictions - is key to my work.  That's when "the good stuff" can happen.

The Studio on the Knoll is located in the beautiful rolling hills of Clackamas County, located 18 miles south of PDX International airport, and home to a shared- space Art Center, where professional artist-instructors from across America, Europe & Canada teach 3-8 day workshops.

I love sharing this space with other artists and students.
