A native of Northern California, I began an odyssey in the early 70's that brought me to Southwest Virginia and has allowed me to express my passion for life in art.
My artistic goal is to bring joy to my clients with the result of a painting that is full of life and feeling. I love to paint whether it is a landscape, a flower or a face. Childrens portraits and scenes with children and pets are especially enjoyable for me. I feel that capturing the expression and feeling of a piece is one of my strengths.
For 10 years I participated in selected art festivals throughout the Eastern Seaboard and received many awards. I have also hosted numerous one-woman shows. My work hangs in both corporate and private collections in the United States and Europe.
