Art is the one constant thread that runs throughout my life. I interpret what I see and feel into my paintings, be it an awesome storm, a tragic shooting, or an incredible sunset; it is cathartic for me to express my emotions through the paint.
I studied Fine Art at The Muncin, Williams, Proctor Arts Institute, and Fashion Design at Parson’s School of Design, earning an AAS and BFA respectively. After earning my degrees I worked, married, raised our children and moved around the country for my husband’s career. Volunteering in an artistic and creative way has helped me to assimilate into our new communities.
I rekindled my passion for painting in 2008. I enjoy exploring inspiring places, meeting new people, being part of an artistic community, participating in shows, and the creative process!
