Honors and Awards

I have been involved in the arts for most of my life working with a variety of media including oils, acrylics, charcoal and chalks/pastels. While I am mostly self-taught, I studied and trained in Japan, with a resulting Asian influence in my work.

Since discovering the most ancient painting medium (beeswax) and encaustic techniques almost twenty years ago, I have worked exclusively in this medium. I am proud that my award-winning paintings are found in private collections all over the world.
