About me
Midwest-born, Brooklyn has been home for 45 years. I began drawing and painting as "me time" while working as a full-time mother of six children. My second career landed me in healthcare, where I provide support and counseling on a palliative medicine team. Making art continues to feed and delight me.
Why I Paint
I am essentially self-taught with courses at Parsons, New School, the Brooklyn Museum, and Anderson Ranch, CO, along the way. Over the past two decades, painting has become a form of self-care, meditation, expression, and growth. Simply put, making art adds a dimension to my life that nothing else does!
My Inspiration
What a wonderful world! Whether painting from a known place, a photograph, or my imagination, color sings. Color communicates feeling and is a powerful form of expression.
