The daughter of a painter, I’ve been painting for as long as I can remember. Driving forces in my art and my life are a love of nature and a love of teaching. I find many creative similarities in making art and in teaching; both require constant experimentation, evaluation and revision. To me the concentrated stillness of making and manipulating marks on a canvas is a form of meditation. Sometimes my work is abstract; more often it is representational. Always, however, I strive to discover and convey the essence of an image and to create exciting, thought provoking visual metaphors that celebrate the incredible beauty and diversity in our world.
