I am a painter and gallery owner in Guerneville.

My newest series titled "Flowers From Ashes,"  incorporates ashes from the devastating fires of 2017. The series honors the nature, people and animals affected and depicts bright flowers bursting out of the ash below.

Some many were devastated by the fires but, like the flowers, the people of Sonoma County are resilient and will once again thrive. Flowers From Ashes is intended to console, inspire and memorialize the sad tragedy which occurred last October.
