I was born and raised in Northwest Indiana and as a young child was always drawing pictures and painting. I went on many family trips out West and fell in love with the landscape and the cowboys and horses, never raised in that environment , that’s all I wanted to paint. When my children were older I started taking art lessons with several teachers from the art academy of Chicago and the school of realistic art. One year later I was selling paintings and getting commissions.my subjects are cowboys, horses and landscapes.
