Art and creativity have always been a part of my life. A degree in graphic design led to a career in advertising, followed by 25 years running my own interior design business. Painting has filled a creative void since I retired and has taken me on a journey of self-discovery. It has intensified my observational skills and taught me to be more present. Nature’s multi-sensory experience and infinite beauty are my constant inspiration. I strive to capture the color, light, temperature, and feeling of a place and time, either in Plein Air or studio, primarily in oil or gouache.
