Drawn by the light and the "wildness" of the Southwest, I moved to Arizona a few years ago and now enjoy desert settings. My enthusiasm for my new home is very apparent in the exuberant paintings and can best be described as "happy".   My paintings reflect my travels around the United States, Provence, Switzerland, Iceland, and Ireland.</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><U>Education</U></B></div> <bR> <div> <B>B.F.A., University of Georgia, 1967</B></div> <div> <B>(Art scholarship, graduated Phi Kappa Phi Honor
