Art has always been a part of my life. I grew up in France and had the opportunity to visit some of the best art museums in Europe, but my true inspiration is nature.

I have worked in watercolor, gouache, oil, pen and ink and other art forms as a hobbyist for most of my life before studying design and watercolor at many local classes and regional workshops. I have also taught watercolor classes myself for many years in Great Falls.

I am a past president of the Great Falls Art Association,  past treasurer of the Western Heritage Artists, and signature member of the Montana Watercolor Society.

I have been included in local and regional juried shows like Great Falls Art-in-the-Park where I received a juror’s award in 1997, the Helena Meadowlark Review, the Governor’s Mansion annual show.

Other notable awards, a Buckskinner Award - Roughriders Art Show in Williston, ND, Best Watercolor Award in 1998 and 1999 at the Montana State Fair and added to the permanent collection in 2000.  I was chosen as guest artist for the millennium Salon des Peintres in Miramas, France in 2000.

I paint almost exclusively landscapes often featuring rock and water, and other soothing oases where the mind can find rest from our complex modern world.  I am presently working on Southwest scenes and studying mosaic.

I divide my time between my Montana summer home and my “snowbird” retreat in Southern Utah.
