Biography

Hello and Welcome!


Thanks for stopping in to learn more about my art. 


My art is inspired by the colorful art of my mother and grandmother, the favorite flowers of my childhood, the gardens of my today, the farms, mountains and fresh waters of my beautiful New Hampshire (NH, USA), and by my experience of God’s wonderful creatures and creations; and to me, they are all indeed wonder-full.


I paint mostly with acrylic, but oftentimes include additional media such as soft pastels, oil pastels, gauche, marker, pencil, charcoal, and others. I paint on canvas and paper (frameable art) but have also painted furniture and home decor items.  I create digital art and I accept commissions.

 
I was born and raised in New Hampshire, where I live with my husband and pets, and where I hope to be forever among the wildflowers, fresh breezes, spring waters, and granite boulders. I enjoyed a full career in Business Administration and Education, and earned my Bachelor of Science degree from our local University.

Your spirit should be edified, uplifted, and curious when you experience my art, maybe a piece will cause you to pause a moment, release your thoughts, and explore possibilities. This is my intention: to earn a living by doing what I love ~ this shows up as a bit of goodness in your moments, and in this beautiful world we share.
