My art comes from within. Images form as I process day-to-day experiences,  listen to music, dance,  hike in the woods, or when reflecting on a moment in time.

I am sure that growing up in multiple cultures, experiencing different sights, sounds and smells, influences my work more than I realize. Undeniably, my love of fairy tales, fiction, fantasy, and sci-fi permeates my work. I like to work with acrylics and gouache, and experiment with texture and collages. What connects my work is my love of color.

I’ve always loved art, but work, children, life, just didn’t provide the space and time to pursue my passion. Until now.

I am grateful for the opportunity, if brief, to study art in Strasbourg, France as a young adult. Now I study under Eleanor Grace Miller.  And I am a proud member of the National Association of Women Artists (NAWA) and the Mamaroneck Artists Guild.

In these challenging times we can all benefit from heroes to inspire us.  This series of "accidental heroes" recognizes women who did not set out to be heroes, but that is what they became through circumstance, grit and perseverance.  Each piece is 14" x 11", acrylic on canvas, and can be viewed here.
