​My life as an artist began at age four, with happy memories of painting alongside my mother at the kitchen table.  This continues to influence the peaceful satisfaction I have with the painting process.  I enjoy working in different media, including pen and ink, printmaking, and the book arts,  however, my work for the past 50 years always contains an element of painting. ​
As a participating observer, collector, and recorder of visual experiences, I can be seen outdoors with my sketchbook and backpack full of portable art materials.  Often my sketches lead to finished pieces inspired by time and place; the natural world around me. ​​

 The dandelion is entirely edible with nutritional as well as healing properties and is a universal symbol of happiness and joy, with its bright, yellow flowers, and the propagation of these  attributes with its puff ball of seeds.  Lion's Tooth Designs represents my desire to spread well-being through a curative response to  the world around me through my art.

My website, Lion's Tooth Designs, references the French Norseman name given to the dandelion plant, dent de lion, or "lion's tooth,"  based on the leaves' jagged appearance.
