I love exploring the expression of thoughts, experiences and place through painting and print making. Color, shapes, line and paint help me communicate when words fall short. The process of art making is blissful and fulfilling, challenging and exciting.

To say I am self-taught would be an error. Besides taking local art classes, I’ve enjoyed online classes from wonderful artists all over the world.  For nine years, I was executive director of a nonprofit art education organization for children. I organized workshops where parents were trained to teach art lessons in their children’s classrooms.  Each workshop presented a background lecture on the artist or genre being studied.  Years of attending these inspiring lectures and learning about art history and art-making techniques inform my work.  

I am fortunate to live in the charming village of Corrales, New Mexico, which is just north of Albuquerque.  The natural beauty of New Mexico’s high desert landscape and crisp, clear light are daily inspiration. New Mexico has a thriving artist community of which I am happy to be a member.
