As a watercolorist, I approach my subjects as portraiture, whether people, wildlife, flowers or architecture. I recreate the character of the subject through color and a careful, but loose style which combines a propensity for detail with the desire for freedom and motion. I work exclusively in watercolor, creating textures with my brush.

As a creative soul, I have also had an equal desire to sell my works. From my grade school portraits of the Beatles, through my late 20s and early 30s as a handweaver, and finally a watercolorist, I have sold my work. Additionally, working in the corporate world for blocks of time, gave me useful skills and professionalism. 

I believe in making my work accessible to all, so in addition to selling my original paintings, I reproduce my work on merchandise and a variety of wall art prints, which include a line of high end reproductions in large sizes.

My love of nature inspires much of my work. Collectors and followers enjoy my birds, sea turtles, and farm and wild animals. Living in South Florida influences, but does not limit, my choice of subject. 

I have been a member of the Gold Coast Watercolor Society, National League of Pen Women, and the Delray Artist League and have participated on the boards and committees. I exhibit locally both in indoor exhibitions and outdoor art festivals.
