Arroyo Hondo Preserve


I am one of the artists invited to paint at a special fundraising event to help preserve the Gaviota coast. The Santa Barbara Land Trust holds an annual event at the Arroyo Hondo ranch. Art, food and wine will make for a great event!

matillia poppy


One of my favorite flowers on the ranch.
I must have oldtimers, I cant remember where I put this or perhaps I sold it. Really girl, get your act together!

Reflecrions at Devereux


This is a large plein air and came together very aggreeably, while I was chatting with an interesting woman !
I used to ride my bike along the Devereux road back in my college days at UCSB. Never would have believed I would paint one day!

Historic water Taxi


I finally finished this painting of an Historical landmark , a water taxi in Santa Barbara Harbor.

Painting the town



Wow, It has been an eventful week in Santa Barbara's art community! My work and the Art show I chaired was in all the papers. Our Wilderness to Gallery show at the Faulkner was on the cover.
I was one of 20 chosen top artists to do a paintout and exhibit downtown. Too fun!!!
