ABOUT THE ARTIST

NEW ORLEANS - MY BIRTHPLACE & HOME FOR 26 YEARS

BENICIA’S BEAUTIFUL WATERFRONT - MY HOME NOW

One of a family of artists & collectors in New Orleans, PAINTING has always played a role in my self-expression. I WOULDN’T FEEL GROUNDED WITHOUT IT. MUSIC HAS THE SAME CALMING EFFECT ON MY MIND.

i’VE BEEN RECOGNIZED FOR MY EXTENSIVE RANGE OF OIL/ACRYLIC SKILLS FROM CONTEMPORARY TO REPRESENTATIONAL PIECES. COLLECTORS HAVE DESCRIBED my work AS EMOTIVE, HEARTFELT, INTRIGUING, SERENE.

I sTARTed my PROFESSIONAL ART CAREER IN 1990 when my first child was a year oLD, attending night classes in los altos ca. RENDERING SUBJECTS REALISTICALLY WAS MY FOCUS THEN. BUT WHEN MY RIGHT ARM WAS SPRAINED ONE SUMMER, I TRIED MY 1ST ABSTRACT W/ MY LEFT HAND. i BECAME HOOKED. MY ART PATH HAS GONE IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION SINCE THEN.
