- Gustav Klimt - 

Painting is both humbling and empowering. Working as a painter is a wonderful process for me- it's never about the finished product.  When I start a painting I have a basic idea of what I want, and leave the rest to the process itself.  The beauty to me, is in the process of putting it all together to my satisfaction. To me, it is like a puzzle- find the missing pieces that will make the art sing. And it often ends up different than the original idea that I had- the painting can have a mind of its own, and I've learned to just go with it.

I have been painting my whole life and hold degrees in studio art and interior design. All of my artwork is hand painted and sketched- no digital or AI is used in the creation. I'm continually inspired by the beauty of everyday objects, the comforts of home, and the allure of design and color. The process of putting imagery together brings me sheer delight and accomplishment.

Working from my coastal home studio, I seek colorful and joyful beauty

through my art. My artwork has been displayed on the walls and collected in lovely spaces, in the US as well as abroad, for over 15 years. I am honored and humbled by your support- thank you!
