About Me

…...”I love the initial excitement, when light describes an object, a scene, a sound and I can think of nothing else until I sketch the concept, start the painting...set in motion the creative process”.

I grew up in a family of artists….a family of potters, painters and musicians. I worked in clay for many years then moved into 2D painting, first with watercolors, then pastels and currently with oils.

It’s always the colors, the textures...the light describing the world around me that compels me to put brush to paper and create. 

My work is created to carry the viewer beyond first impressions with a subtleness discovered in the details.
