I was born in New York City and from my earliest memories art has played an important role in my life. I graduated with a degree in fine art, education and psychology.
After a career in Communications and Marketing, I relocated from Central California to Southern Oregon. You could say that my life has come full circle, as time allows me to pursue my love of art.
I enjoy plein air painting and painting in my home studio. My art reflects a broad range of styles with a variety of mediums; including acrylic, charcoal, graphite, encaustic, oil and pastel. Experimentation and pushing the elements of art toward abstraction can be seen in many of my paintings. As you view my art, please remember that a painting is nothing more than an illusion created on a flat surface. I invite you to allow your mind wander and let your eyes explore the space.
