• I have been exhibiting my work professionally for over 30 years. I work primarily in painting and drawing with an emphasis on works on paper.

    My imagery is informed by natural history and the environmental crisis. My creative work and my teaching converge in the Outdoor Studio course in which I bring students to sites in and around San Antonio to make works of art outdoors.

    I am an active participant in the Texas art scene, primarily in San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, and Austin.  I support numerous Texas art institutions and art educational programs by creating and donating works of art. I am also a member of various environmental organizations, such as the San Antonio Audubon Society. I serve on the committee responsible for programming the Neidorff Art Gallery. 

    I am the co-founder & co-director, with artist Robert Ziebell, of the Eagle Harbor Social Aid and Pleasure Club at the Eagle Harbor General Store Museum: an historic general store presenting contemporary art and cultural events in a context of historic artifacts, Eagle Harbor, Michigan. And in San Antonio, we also host The Playhouse Gallery, a contemporary art program in a Victorian children’s playhouse.
