Art is one of the few things in today's world that is completely personal, original and expresses what a person is. It can inspire feeling, expression and passion in others. Color and light are important aspects of my work. Attention is drawn to color as it creates a variety of moods in our environment. It motivates me to paint. My awareness of the beauty in the world increases during the process of painting.

I have been painting my entire life, it is an experience that comes very natural to me. Majoring in Fine Arts at U.C.LA., I was fortunate to study under such well known artists as Laddie Dill and Edward Moses. I am originally from Manhattan Beach, California and lived there for many years. I am currently living in Crestline in the San Bernadino Mountains with my husband Dwight, my dog Buster and our three cats. After years of working as a graphic artist, I finally have the time to paint and show my work.

All my paintings are original, using the best materials and painted on stretched canvases.
