Hello!

I’m a pastel artist living and working in Loreto, BCS, Mexico.   Retiring here from the Northwest US, my husband and I  enjoy the area and time to pursue our interests.  

My subject matter is mostly landscapes from our travels, all over the west and Mexico.    Lately, I’ve been painting a lot of  Loreto’s architecture and plants, given there is so much subject matter around me.  

My formal education in pastels has included working with a number of pastel masters, such as Albert Handell. Michael Chesney Johnson, Karen Watson and Susan Ogilvie.

Although I sell my work at art shows and galleries, much of my work, comes from commissions.

Please browse my work, and by all means leave a comment or drop a note.  I’d enjoy hearing from you.
