Artist Members

In spite of having both a BFA and MA in Art Education, I consider myself to be primarily self taught as an artist. Not to say that there have not been outside influences: the well known local artist, Mel Leipzig, along with the accomplished plein air painter Scott Powers among them. My current artistic pursuits include the challenge of Plein Air Painting as well as occasional returns to my roots of abstraction and found object pieces. Visual art lets me speak to the world through my reaction and interpratation of what lies before as well as within me. My related interest is as a professional wheel instructor.
