Growing up first in France, then England eventually moving to the US when I was 15 gave me the opportunity to view many of the great art museums of Europe. It wasn't until a friend bought me an oil painting lesson that I began to paint seriously myself. I enjoy working in oils, soft pastels and watercolors and prefer painting "en plein air" whenever possible. I attend life drawing sessions and workshops when I can to continue improving. My paintings have been shown in a number of group shows in the Central Texas area and have sold to private collectors in Texas, Colorado, Maine, New York, Kentucky, Alabama, Louisiana and California.
