Born in New York, New York I studied painting at PCA, and also the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, DC.  When young, I traveled  and moved often, since my father was in the Army. During this time I enjoyed experiencing different places:  Aurora, Denver, Virginia, Nashville, Maryland, San Juan Puerto Rico, Canada and  and the Virgin Islands.

 

The feeling of a landscape often remains embedded in my mind's eye. As an adult, I still paint landscapes and sometimes figures that look like landscapes, or landscapes that look like figures. It was one of my figure/landscapes that was included in an exhibition at the National Museum of Women in the Arts,  called “Insomnia, Landscapes of the Night”. ​

 

I paint because it creates a link with others, and connects me to my feelings. The process of painting allows a visual communication with the world, and provides an unexpected new perspective, a sense of place, felt sense and belonging.
