I am a native Californian and have lived in the San Francisco Bay Area all my life. Specializing in miniature oil paintings and portraits (miniature and full size) my charming landscapes, still lifes and portraits are done in a very traditional, realist style. Miniature collectors are my biggest fans because I paint in the popular dollhouse scale 1/12 (one inch equals a foot) and they fit just right in their fine miniature collections. Painting for more than thirty years now, I have mastered my technique and continue to seek new challenges. I am an IGMA Fellow (International Guild of Miniature Artisans). I am also an art instructor and I'm available for demonstrations and workshops.
