I have been creating art as a hobby since I was a teenager.  In 2014, at the age of 62, friends convinced me to begin offering my art for sale.  I work with charcoal and pastels to create my images.  Since my retirement in August, 2018, I have been more active in building my portfolio and accepting commissioned orders.

​

My images vary greatly and I enjoy the challenge of creating something new!  The southwest influence in much of my paintings derives from traveling to NM/AZ for many years, and living in NM for 7+ years.  I also attend pastel workshops frequently in AZ, led by my Navajo brother and mentor, Teddy Draper, Jr.
