I began drawing and painting in 2021 during the Covid Pandemic at the age of 52! Working from home and unable to get out I picked up a book, The Artist’s Way, that I had had for years but never read. That book changed my life. I realized that I had always been called to create and I was finally ready to embrace it!
I began drawing and painting and I can’t stop. I particulary love Faces and Flowers and using all kinds of art supplies to create texture and layers. Life is beautiful and messy and imperfect and I embrace all of it. I hope you feel that – along with a sense of play, in my work.
It’s never too late to follow your dream or to learn a new thing! I still have my day job (which I love) in the corporate world and I’m creating as much as I can in between meetings!
I hope my art brings you as much joy as creating it brings me.
I paint big, colorful flowers. I am fascinated by the repetitive shapes, the colors, and the energy of plants and flowers. They are each so unique and different, almost as if they have little personalities. I love the big bold varieties of sunflowers and zinnias, as well as exotic tropicals like hibiscus and bird of paradise. I could paint them for hours and never get tired of it. I keep my garden chock-full of all these types so I get to live with them and study them. They are constantly making me smile and informing my work.
My art is uplifting and positive. There’s enough heavy negativity these days, so I’m doing my part to put positive energy back into the world. Color saves lives. It inspires us to think better, work smarter, and play more. My art is about beauty, color, and joy, and ultimately, it’s about hope.

I’m a storyteller with my jewelry. It can be a story of a painting which I saw, bird in a nature or at the sea, flowers in the garden, etc. Anything which I saw and fell in love with. I use different techniques in my work but my specialty is filigree.
