I now have a space to show my work at the Carriage Factory Art Gallery, 128 E. 6th St Newton, Kansas 67114, Phone: (316)284-2749, The hours are Tuesday through Friday ~ Noon-5:00 p.m. and Saturday ~ 11:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.

My display is in the third floor gallery. The building, an actual old carriage factory, was refurbished years before I came to Newton. Please come for a visit. The main first floor gallery has new shows monthly the the artist's

gallery changes often. There is a beautiful little park just east of the building.

I will be posting more about my little venture later. Stay tuned!

About Me…

Since the time I was old enough hold a pencil or a brush, I have been drawing and painting. My father owned a printing business so I had all the scrap paper any artist could want. Starting at about seven, I studied with several local artist groups in class settings. I then studied privately with a prominent local artist for about eight years. As an adult, I worked in the printing and graphic design industry, eventually owing my own business. I worked both as a professional and volunteer fire fighter for many years, painting off and on. Being attracted to the bright colored wardrobes, props, and opportunity of working with people, I started to clown about 1978. I went full time in 1992. I wrote the scripts, designed, built and painted the props and staging for over forty different shows. I designed my promotional materials. I also designed and then painted my personal canvas, my face, three to ten times a week. I am now making the transition back to my roots and training, using paint, pallet, and brush to create pictures and wall art. Much of what I am painting is from my life and work experiences. I paint what interests me at the moment. I especially love painting fire scenes in impressionist style. I want you to "feel the heat" when you view the painting! Thanks for looking!
