Michael Allen McGuire was my first teacher. He earned his "signature membership" in the New Mexico Watercolor Society in 1987 and as a watercolorist and oil painter, enjoys consistent gallery representation and juried acceptance to exhibitions and professional competitions throughout the country.

Nonnie Thompson (NonTom) is my favorite contemporary artist. Her humorous, whimsical paintings; explore, poke fun at, and uncover the hypocrisy and banality of our society and its cultural icons. Her canvases are beautiful, lyrical and  jarring, telling stories that are always fresh and thought provoking. In a word: Wow!
