About the Creator
A native of So CA before retiring, I am now fortunate to spend part of the year on Anderson Island, in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I was a professional designer and illustrator for a giftware company, the party goods industry, and over 10 years free-lance experience working with interior designers on model home and residential interiors. I created stylized stencils, graphic sports and whimsical children murals, watercolor and acrylic paintings that decorated many model home projects. I also created many colorful detailed floral and geometric rug designs for various residential clients. Recently, I have exhibited my watercolor paintings in the Peninsula Art League Annual Juried Shows, the National Weather Center 2015 Biennale in Norman, OK and have paintings for sale at the Johnson Farm Historical Society's Gift Shop Museum on Anderson Island. I am a member of NorthWest Watercolor Society and Watercolor West.
