I am constantly striving to capture depth and dimension in my oil paintings. Working from life, whether it's from flowers or a model is exhilarating and ever changing. This is my passion, life dedication and contribution.
I love to depict the intense fascination with light and atmosphere. Constantly striving to capture depth and dimension in my work, along with accuracy and light. Working from life, whether it's outside painting a landscape, or in studio, painting fresh flowers or working with a model is my true passion.
I teach workshops throughout the country as well as internationally and am on Senior Faculty at Crealde School of Art in my home town of Winter Park, Florida. My own learning, growth and development are of utmost importance to me as well and seeking out study with Master Painter’s she holds in high regard.
In addition to showing ongoing in galleries throughout the country, I have exhibited in many national exhibitions and have been awarded numerous acknowledgments, in the process.
