After a twenty-year career as a graphic artist, I made my first trip to Asia in 1998. While in Nepal, I began looking into volunteer opportunities hoping to return someday to live, work and explore. In 2008, I retuned to Nepal as a volunteer with Habitat for Humanity International and stayed over two years. In between work assignments, I set up a studio in Katmandu and began a series of portraits and landscapes which resulted in a show in 2018. I am currently working on more Himalayan landscapes and post-apocalypse cave paintings.
Unanimously juried into the Santa Fe Gallery Association's 2024 Artist Catalog.
