From the Artist:

This is the story of an accidental artist, the story of an Obstetrician/Gynecologist, Mother, and Wife, who discovers, at the age of 56, that she is a painter.

I am the daughter of an artist mother, and crafty father, and had always seen myself as having received my father’s genes.  I pursued hobbies of mosaic making, pottery, and even photography, leaving the fine art to my mother.  However, when visiting my parents in Sarasota, Florida in February of 2016, my life changed.   On a rainy afternoon, with nothing else planned, a set of acrylic paints appeared, and I produced my first painting of a dock at dusk.  My life was forever changed.

Since then, I have not stopped learning, and have not stopped painting. I have studied with generous teachers, and have taken away important lessons from each. I have fallen in love with painting from life, and have embraced plein air and still life painting, as well as painting the figure.  I delight in having discovered this hidden passion, and look forward to living the rest of my life as an artist.

While I am drawn to the landscape in all its’ wardrobe, my heart sings when I can paint the dance between light and shadow.
