"THE LAKE"                                                      

    I spent my childhood in Anchorage, Alaska  I still have cousins there and it's a very special place in my heart. Sometimes when I'm painting something I remember, it's as   though I'm there, and I can smell and hear and see all the beauty that it truly is. We lived very close to nature and I hope that my work reflects the awe and respect i have of the beauty of  Alaska.
