Best advice you’ve been givenBe original and follow your own inner vision. Start your own work from a quiet place of expression and don't be influenced by others.

Goals/AspirationsTo always be open to new possibilities

Favorite artistAs an expressionistic artist I love the work of Helen Frankenthaller and admire her freedom and sense of scale. I also love the abstract work of Gerhard Richter and also adore anything by John Singer Sargent.

Hope to learn how to Garden on a higher level

You spend a lot of time thinking aboutMy art…the next painting. My children and husband and friends.

Favorite musical artist Heart, Bon Jovi, folk music, classic rock and Broadway tunes.

What do you do when not creating art I love being with family and friends, entertaining, reading and traveling.

My work is all about surface with no preconceived ideas. Although abstract, I strive for some order and balance along with a spontaneous approach to composition. Texture is the foundation of the painting. As the image emerges I then use various mediums for a unique result. Layers are added and subtracted until the desired effect is evident and I have created a rich and almost sculptural surface.
