Art Northwest

From my earliest memory as a child in Portland, Oregon, I was holding onto a crayon,
drawing lines and circles, lots of color and youthful creativity. Being from the
Northwest it seemed only natural to bring my art under the name of "Art Northwest".
This is home. This is where we work on wood projects such as toys, boxes, games
and custom framing. This is where we play, we enjoy the great outdoors in hiking,
fishing, biking and picnics.
Today a paintbrush and graphite has replaced the crayon. Nothing against the
crayon, although it seems other media lends itself to more depth and imagination.
I am self-taught and a teacher, the gift has always been part of me, from portraiture to
landscapes, or murals depicting reality or fantasy.
Why do I paint? Painting allows me to share with others my visions and
interpretations of my Northwest world. More than once I have been impressed with
the ability of some fine artist to say the most with the simplest tools. Perhaps this is
why I like using the amazing--pencil.
