My art journey began when I was a girl who loved the feel of art supplies in my hands and freely created with them. That early joy of making art never left me. Later in life, in my forties, I discovered watercolor painting, which opened a new world of color and expression. Most recently I engaged in a painting course that has deepened my appreciation for mindful, deliberate mark-making and meditative creativity.
I paint both expressive landscapes and vibrant, layered abstract compositions. My landscapes often capture dramatic natural scenes. My abstract work is more energetic and intuitive, built with bold brushstrokes, thick impasto texture, and rich, layered colors that release emotion onto the paper or canvas.
