My interest in painting began while watching a PBS television show about one stroke painting where the artist painted flowers. That spurred me to look into local art classes.  I enrolled in a class for "Beginner to Advanced Artists".  My instructor and mentor, Wes Berrier is a registered painter who teaches the Rembrandt style of chiaroscuro, or light and dark.  This was a far cry from the one stroke flowers that I expected to be painting.  

I enjoy portrait work as well as florals and cityscapes.  My work has been featured in several local galleries and exhibits.
