"I look at the world around me as subject matter for paintings, and am grateful for my phone camera to capture a scene or a moment in time. I also love painting en plein air and the challenge of recreating what is a fleeting moment of light and shadow.

I have always been drawn to creating art. I have dabbled in many different mediums including sculpture, ceramics, quiltmaking, jewelry making, Japanese doll making, watercolor, acrylic, pastel and oil. Now my focus is on pastel and oil and I often enjoy painting the same subject in each medium to see the different effects they make."
