BIO
The best parts of my childhood were spent wandering my aunt and uncle’s wooded acres in Pennsylvania and working at their nursery and greenhouse. I see this in my love for painting florals and landscapes. My other inspiration is travel. I love the way experiencing something new makes us more present. We literally ‘come to our senses.’
Another focus of my art comes from my professional background. I worked for nonprofits that help victims of child abuse for more than 30 years, which makes me passionate about our collective need to help every child thrive. I have a series of paintings dedicated to this message (see the video here).
I am self-taught, but have had the benefit of studying with professors from The Ohio State University, the Columbus College of Art and Design. I have also learned from workshops with local, national and international artists. My curiosity about art is endless.
It feels like magic to share an experience on a two-dimensional surface. I hope the viewer feels my delight with the creative process in addition to the painting itself.
