“I enjoy bringing life to a blank canvas with

colors and shapes, and finding a figure in

a chunk of stone.”

For as long as I can remember I have enjoyed drawing,

painting and doing most anything related to art, from

painting store windows for a Halloween art competition

in high school to art classes through high school and

college. I find I can lose myself in creating beautiful

things. It’s such a wonderful state of relaxation and

joy when i can leave the surrounding world and become

immersed in what i'm doing.

I have always primarily worked with oil on canvas; my paintings reflecting my love of Native cultures and celebrations. After years of snowbirding, my husband and I relocated to New Mexico from Connecticut. Now my colors are becoming more vibrant with an emphasis on lighting. I like incorporating geometric or Native designs in my compositions to compliment the faces and figures I paint.

In 2005 and 2008, I attended the Southwest Stone Carving Workshop in Jemez Springs, NM,  and found a new medium of expression in limestone, alabaster and marble while working with nationally known sculptors, Rollie Grandbois, Cliff Fragua, Jon DeCelles, Tim Nicola, T. Barney and others.

My work has been seen in Southwest Art, Art of the West and Cowboys and Indians magazines.
