About Me

From a young age, I explored creativity and received a lot of encouragement from my parents. I went to college to study architecture and maintained an artistic passion throughout. Six years ago, my painting interest was rekindled when my daughter was completing high school and I had time and space to paint again. I paint abstracts which have been a passion for my entire life. I grew up by the sea and am inspired by tropical colors, breezy feelings, and dreamy composition. Enjoy!
