| Pasadena, California, nestled against the San Gabriel mountains, was my childhood home. After working on the Alaska Railroad and serving in the military I returned to California to finish my education at UCLA, graduating with a degree in history and a teaching credential. My family located to rural Alpine, 30 miles east of San Diego, where I taught High School for 30 years. In addition to our Alpine home we are lucky to have a little cabin on the east slope of Palomar Mountain as a wilderness retreat. A two week raft trip on the Colorado River after retirement brought me into contact with Santa Fe artist Peter Nesbit who encouraged and inspired me to capture the beauty of the natural landscape in oils. Since then I have been focused on “plein air” painting in the mountains, deserts and foothills of California. My pallette is limited---just yellows, blues, and reds, plus white. I do not think any of nature’s greens can come out of a tube, so I constantly mix. Most of my work is on 9 x 12 linen panels which can easily be carried into the field with my pochade box. Larger works are done in the studio, based on location sketches. I admire and am inspired by the early California expressionists and their ability to capture the unique light of our natural landscape and share the passion they had for rendering this quiet magnificence. It is my fervent wish that my work will inspire others to help preserve what remains of our rapidly vanishing natural landscape.
