The Three Amigos has settled into its new home in Prescott, Arizona. I was delighted to personally install this large original for a wonderful collector who now owns three of my original paintings. There is no greater compliment than knowing someone has chosen to surround themselves with my art.

Collector's New Treasure

I am super excited to now be a part of the
Adelante Art Gallery, a hidden gem located in the Historic Spanish Village, Carefree Arizona that showcases paintings, sculpture and jewelry by local and international folk and fine artists.

Adelante is a featured gallery on CNN International's program "Art Club" and celebrated its 32nd year in business in September 2026.

New Gallery Representation

While exploring Cave Creek, Arizona, I was delighted to discover two pieces from my Women of Arizona poster series hanging in the charming restaurant “Brunch”. These two wonderful ladies were kind enough to pose beneath the artwork, making the moment even more memorable. Seeing my artwork out in the world never gets old. And, of course, finding such inspiration means Cave Creek will soon have its own place in my Arizona poster series!

About the Artist

I create whimsical, eclectic art featuring women and desert wildlife, inspired by my life in Tucson, Arizona. Bold desert colors, playful characters, and layered textures using papers, vintage fabrics, and mixed media give each piece its distinctive personality.

After more than 40 years in graphic design, I was inspired by my father, who began painting at the age of 70. His late-blooming artistic journey encouraged me to pursue fine art, and for the past decade I have explored acrylics, mixed media, graphite, and papier-mâché.

Born in Palm Springs, California, my work reflects my love of the Southwest, blending mid-century modern influences with elements of Spanish architecture, Native American, Old Western, and Hispanic traditions. My background in cartooning, illustration, and design brings a playful, unexpected quality to my work.

The beauty, color, culture, and mystery of the desert continue to inspire me, with each piece reflecting my ongoing creative journey and deep connection to the Southwest.

“God made us to create. Every time we use our gifts, we reflect His heart to the world.”
