Sketching in Puyallup

I love when folks sit still long enough to allow a sketch! This fellow, dressed appropriately for a chilly day, still chose to wear his sandals as he waited for his bus outside the Puyallup Library. Ahhh! To live in Washington State!

About Me

My studio is located in Puyallup WA., a small city of about 37,000 people located S.E. of Tacoma WA and South of Seattle.

I began art with training in Commercial Art, followed by occasional university fine arts classes in Michigan, Texas, and Washington state, along with many workshops with professional artists.

I have experienced selling my art in galleries, participating in juried shows (and winning some nice prizes), completing commissions, and selling drawings, prints, and paintings in various venues. I have taught art classes, held a Figure Studio program for five years in my studio, and hosted workshops for nationally known artists.

My art focus currently is on Urban Sketching. In 2013 I founded Urban Sketchers-Tacoma, which serves Pierce County, WA. I will be retiring from co-administering this program shortly after USk-Tacoma's fifth birthday, on May 6, 2017, happy there are excellent leaders in place to continue USk programming, serving artists in our area of the world.
