artist Vacaville, California artist Artist Biography "Living in the country, landscape is a daily part of my life.  I am constantly inspired with nature's immeasurable compositions.  Whether it is the way the sun casts a shadow from an oak tree across a parched summer hillside, or the colors created when the first hot winds of the season begin to dry the spring grasses. The landscapes where I live in Northern California have a rhythm of line.  It is a rhythm that fluctuates with intensity and subtlety, convergence and isolation, activity and stillness.  It is a rhythm that I compare to a musical score, and one that I feel when the composition is visually in balance.” AWARDS Jurors Award for “Color of Money” FVAA Juried Show 2007 Honorable Mention for “Morning Before” Vacaville Art League Juried Show 2006 Award of Merit for “Package Deal” video collage, California State Fair 2005 Award of Recognition, Vaca Arts Council’s Salute to the Stars 2005 Award of Merit and People’s Choice Award,for “Cantelow Road”, Vacaville Art League Juried Show 2003 AFFILIATIONS Chair for the City of Vacaville Arts Advisory Committee 2010-2011 Juror for Fine Arts Competition, Solano County Fair 2007 President, Vacaville Art League 2005-2007 Event Chair, Saturday in the Park, 2004-2007
