My Background
Art, in all forms has always been a part of my life. I am a seeker of art and appreciate and enjoy all things creative. I believe we all have an ability to exercise a creative side of ourselves and in doing so we nurture an often hidden, yet necessary part of our souls. Art seekers and collectors allow the art we display in our homes to reflect various parts of our lives and inner beings.
My own art story began as a student of Interior Design at Ringling College of Art, where I was surrounded by students and enthusiasts of all forms of fine art. After graduation in 1985 I moved to NY, and now reside in Texas. I have always believed that art installed in an environment is as relative to the space as jewelry is to finalize a fabulous outfit. Creating art is a journey and in a lot of ways I'm just getting started. Thanks for joining me in the adventure!
My Inspiration
Nature, in all of her glory and beauty, created by God and given to each of us as a gift to enjoy every day! This is where I find inspiration to create the feelings of awe, love, warmth and gratitude I experience when I am presented by this beauty. Living here in Texas I am privileged to have a diverse land at my beckoning, full of history, adventure and delight. I'm also a traveler, ready to see what's around the corner of our wonderful country. Light reflecting off the water or between the dancing leaves of a great oak tree, shadows that grow in length with the evening light, brooding clouds that form before a torrential rain, the depths of the ocean and the heights of the mountain tops, the dog on my sofa or the cow in the field - I find God's beauty everywhere and I want to paint it!
