Northwest Coast-Celtic Fusion Art
Inspired by Japanese Design Aesthetics and the Arts & Crafts Movement

Guardians of the Door     Spring 2012

     Thank you for visiting my website.  Within these webpages are glimpses of the events and experiences which have shaped my life over the past forty years of painting on cedar panels.  My art can be seen at Cattails & Dragonflies Gallery in La Conner, WA, Artwood Gallery in Bellingham (Fairhaven), WA, and the Matzke Fine Art Gallery on Camano Island, WA.  Also, I frequently show my art at the Jansen Art Center in Lynden, the Schack Art Center in Everett, and at the River Gallery in Mt. Vernon.

Look at what is for sale at the galleries & shows by using the pull-down menu from the HOME tab.  Those paintings not currently showing at these galleries are also for sale online.  If you are interested in purchasing something online, please refer to my Purchasing & Shipping page for more information.

     We just got back from a 3-week visit to Scotland, and my current 7.25 in by 36 in painting was inspired by a trip to Lewis and Harris in the Outer Hebrides.  The stone circle at Callanish is the subject.
