"I live in Charlotte with my husband of 40+ years. I am both proud and rather surprised to say that my art pieces can be found in homes throughout the US, and Europe."

Being creative has always been a part of my life. I grew up on a 100-acre farm in upstate NY born to a father who was a commercial artist and a mother, sculptor. I am able to combine my love of animals and the beauty of the natural world...giving me both resources and inspiration for a lifetime of painting. Different mediums, subjects, places, people, and events continually shape me as an artist and give me inspiration. My goal is to communicate with the viewer the joy I see around me. Besides the gran views, I also like to look closer at my subjects and paint what others may not see. The colors and shadows of nature are a continual draw to me endeavoring to show the immediacy of the moment. Listening to each painting to understand what should or should not be included is a lifelong endeavor.
