About The Artist


Formally trained with a BFA and MFA. The dormant years, from 1991 to 2021 I still painted, but did not exhibit. Tumultuous times but healing times. I am a survivor turned warrior. During the isolation of COVID I began to paint again and found a genuine newness and expression to my work. I found my voice in painting The basis of my painting is color and interaction with planes to evoke an emotion. I do not dictate the emotion for viewers. It is their own interpretation. A black box is a black box, but draw a jagged red line through the box and it becomes an emotion I have taught and lectured on drawing, basic design, Color Theory and papermaking. Works were sold and displayed at Memorial Art Gallery.
