I am largely self-taught. Throughout my education I took art courses whenever I could. I graduated from the University of Evansville, in 1969, where my BA degree was in Elementary Education, but I did managed to take a painting and a drawing class. Since I began painting in 2005, I have entered 3 paintings in the Central Interior Regional Art Councils annual juried “ArtFest” show, and have had all my submitted paintings chosen for the tour of interior BC communities. I have paintings for sale in the Whistlestop Gallery in McBride.
