Artist Statement

Although my professional work as an architectural illustrator consists largely of straight lines, my personal affinity is for the organic shapes of nature. Loose, free-form landscape painting was always my first love and was the focus of my BA in Studio Art at Furman University. Further training in Interior Design at the University of Georgia and later jobs led to much more structure.

In 1982 I left interior design and have had a career as an illustrator for over 25 years. Producing technical airbrush illustrations for an engineering firm and then architectural illustrations for a large architectural/engineering firm in Columbia, SC brought more realism and a tighter technique..

After moving to Asheville, NC in 1996, I have worked with local and national architects, builders, interior designers, developers, and home owners and my style has evolved into a much looser and more artistic one, a mixed media of markers, colored pencils, and pastels.. I am an Associate member of the Asheville Home Builders Association and an Allied member of the AIA NC. I have had the pleasure and honor of producing illustrations for The Biltmore Estate, The Grove Park Inn, and the HGTV Dream Home (2006 in Lake Lure, NC and recently for the 2009 in Sonoma, Calif.) Julie Parker of Handwoven Webs beautifully crafted my website.
