It's Summer Time Display change out at the MarketPlace Cafe



As a Marketplace Cafe participating artist, I appreciate the opportunity to have a showcase for my work where collectors can discover my voice, connect with my passion to select that special piece as an addition to their private art collection.


To Honor the Navy SEALs K9 Storm Intruders

Framed 28 x 24 Oil Pastel Painting

This dog portrait displayed, won 2nd place in its division at Sedona Arts Center Professional Members Juried Show, and represents the dog Cargo that cornered Osama Bin Laden. I have a strong identification with this painting. Just look into his eyes to see the strength of these animals as they defend and protect our country. Their dedication is to be honored. This was my best effort. 




Blue Domes of Santorini Greek Island

My original 30x38” watercolor, “Blue Domes of Santorini,” took 1st place in the watercolor division at the Sedona Arts Center Professional Members’ Juried Show. Will be showing in the Scottsdale, Holland Gallery Arizona Watercolor Association Fall Juried Show; September 26 to October 29.

Barred Oil

Original Pen & Ink Drawing

Enjoy the selective use of negative space (white paper).




Dry Beaver Creek Sycamore

“Dry Braver Creek Sycamore,” framed Fine Art Watercolor Print on 12 x 18 stretched canvas, is one of my favorite watercolor painting. The original watercolor expresses the spirit of this very old sycamore tree living in a dry creek bed. 



 Stay Close.

Have laughter, ease, grace and joy during your Holiday Weekend.
