I am a contemporary abstract painter who loves to paint, and am equally passionate about sharing ideas and assistance to others. I believe anyone can paint - and paint well! 

I have been a professional artist and art instructor for over 30 years, authored four top selling painting books with North Light Books, received my BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and MFA from Columbia University. 

My expertise is in a variety of mediums, including oil, acrylic, watercolor and mixed media. I have appeared on television for HGTV’s "That’s Clever", and worked as a Certified Working Artist for Golden Artist Colors for 16 years. 

I currently live and paint in Santa Fe, NM in the US.
