I am presently self-employed as a professional artist and have been since 2000. I have been accepted to more than five hundred juried art fairs and gallery shows. I am a watercolorist and muralist and teacher. My work has been distributed all over the US and Europe, and I also currently have collectors in Japan and North Africa. I currently teach private art classes to adults and children, and special classes for autistic children. My art has been licensed to manufacturers for everything from area rugs to cards and coasters. The most astounding credit I have is that I have made a living as an artist.
