Favorite musical artistNo one favorite, I like rock music but also take a trip each summer to Santa Fe for an opera.

What do you do when not creating art Cooking, gardening, and being a caregiver to my husband who is paralyzed by MS

My work is inspired by the natural landscape, especially the visual qualities of rock, soil, and vegetation in its many variations. I’ve photographed many deserts, mountains, and plains in all kinds of seasonal weather. It is those visuals seen in the land that create a beauty of contrast, textured imperfections, and emotions that I toss through my imagination when spontaneously painting abstract imagery.
