I graduated from SUNY Potsdam with a BA in Computer Science.  After 20 years of corporate life, I wanted to explore my creative side and slow life down a bit.   Boy was that untrue!  I did begin my art journey, but I have never been busier.  The difference is that I love it!  I work at my home in Upstate New York in my studio space with the support of my wonderful husband, Steve.  I find the that biggest challenge is trying to balance my time painting and creating with my computer time promoting. 

I was always drawing and painting as a teen, but never had a formal training.  I have since studied at the Munson-Williams-Proctor School of Art and taken classes at the Kirkland Art Center.  I feel that my I have a better understanding of the fundamentals now and can produce better quality pieces.   

All of my works are images that I love and I am able to hopefully enhance them through my paintings.    They represent a journey through light and shadow, through perfection and deficiency, through truth and magic.  I hope to leave behind a piece of me in each one by adding my perception to the image. 

My style is predominantly representational and my subject matter varies greatly.  I love to explore different subjects and mediums.  My top 3 are acrylic, watercolor and colored pencil.  I also tend towards smaller works.   I find them more intimate and affordable for everyone.  

In addition to showing in many juried, group and solo shows, I have also had my work published in several books including 'Art on a Plate The ACEO cookbook' and 'Create, Collect, Trade, a Collection of Artist Trading Cards Created by Artists and Students'.  The latter is used as a school teaching tool for the young artists of tomorrow.
