Artist Bio - When I was a child in kindergarten, in New York, I drew a purple Iris and my teacher hung it on the wall. That event seemed to pique my early interest in art and that image remains my guiding star. Art was a major focus throughout school and eventually I majored in Graphic Art but also studied watercolor and oil as well. My studies took me to Pratt Institute and Queens College in NY, and I worked as a graphic artist before moving to Ohio with a newly acquired husband. Raising children curtailed my art career for quite some time but when I moved to northern California, my interest in returning to my art work was sparked. Maybe it was the glorious light, or the lush landscape, but painting became a passion. I studied art at Sonoma State University and Santa Rosa College where I took up pastels for the first time. I returned to Ohio in 1997 and began studying at CCAD. I also took many workshops, notably from Judy Carducci, Albert Handell, Doug Dawson and Alex Powers. I have also studied with Michael McEwan at Capital University. I believe the medium is not as important as seeing color, light and spatial relationships, and I believe that the artist exists in all of us. My purpose in painting is to explore my vision and to awake in the viewer an excitement for the interpretive aspect of art. See below for a list of exhibitions.
