Here’s what I believe.
If I can do it, so can you!

My passion for art began years before I ever picked up a paintbrush. An ardent-admirer, I loved going to galleries and had a large collection of art books. However, I was not quite ready to believe in my own creativeness, until Christmas 1989, when I received a set of paints and a note from my husband that said, simply: Just do it!

Since then, I have embarked onto an exciting journey, seeing the world in new ways, studying colors, shadows, and shapes. The first ten years of this fascination were spent exploring watercolors, like the one in the gallery below, on the left.

For the last six years I have worked in oils. In 2005, had a show with twenty-four oil paintings. I called the show The Goddess Party. Why? Because I paint women. When you delve into goddess myths, Greek or Roman, you find powerful sorcerers. The women I paint are not just remnants of the past, but modern day, liberated “goddesses,” women following their love, passion, duty, and hopefully, their bliss.

Another of my trademarks is painting “banana-ladies,” that is, women with bananas in their hair. I’ve done happy, sinister, innocent, and wild banana ladies. It’s been fun!

My newest phase is paintings on large ceramic platters. An entirely different application than oil painting.

I look forward to whatever’s next.

Please continue to stroll through the gallery.
Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy!
