This site is dedicated to my life as an artist. You’ll find the story of my development as a painter and potter, a gallery of my work and contact information.
About Me:
I was born in a Chicago suburb where I lived throughout my childhood. As a young girl, I spent hours drawing and regularly invested my "hard-earned" allowance in art books. However, my college career did not involve artistic studies, as I was too practical to let creative expression take priority.
After college, I married and moved to New Mexico where I raised my awesome children. The connection with my natural surroundings was peaked, during that time, by the wonderful differences between the Midwest and Southwestern United States. We spent time outdoors regularly and travelled throughout the parks and mountains of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. Although I was not yet painting, there were an abundance of other creative outlets which presented themselves. I entertained myself by doing needlework and creating wreathes and arrangments from wild plants and vines that I collected while hiking or camping. I also took a huge number of photos in an attempt to capture the images of which I had become so fond.
Later, my life took on another direction. My children were on their own and I was single. So, I moved back to the Chicago suburbs. That is when my artistic nature took over. These pages display a collection of the work that has followed.
