I have always loved making art of all kinds. I have Master’s Degrees in Painting and Art Education, and taught art and photography in Georgia and Pennsylvania. I’ve shown my work professionally since 1999, participating in numerous juried art shows throughout the country and have received several awards for my paintings. I moved to Bay Ridge in 2024.
Oil paintings and Watercolors
My oils and watercolors are landscapes inspired by scenes I have encountered. I’ve been fortunate to live all over the country, from Ohio, to Georgia, to Pennsylvania, Asheville, NC and my current home in Brooklyn. I capture the atmosphere of the places I have experienced in my paintings. I work in oils on canvas or wood panels with brush and pallet knife, and usually begin my watercolor paintings using a wet-in-wet technique, which is a spontaneous and joyful process.
Fantasy Landscapes
These surreal or fantasy oriented artworks begin by marbling paper or canvases with ink on watercolor paper or oils on canvas. The shapes and colors created in the marbling process suggest images to me that I allow to emerge and develop, painting scenes that evoke another reality.
