Bio and Artist's Statement:
Born in Flint, Michigan; Current Residence in Royersford, PA
My journey in paint ..... is my journey through life.
I paint from my heart and have had a long love affair with color. I was “hooked” from the time I was 3 years old - painting with red nail polish on walls and my mother’s cotton bedspread.
I moved to New England from Michigan after graduating from college in science, business management and fine arts. My husband and I have lived in the Philadelphia area for approximately 10 years.
I have studied with a number of well-recognized instructors and artists in Michigan and the New England area.
I belong to several local art leagues; participated in solo and juried group shows and received numerous awards for paintings in Michigan, Upstate New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania (including The Philadelphia Sketch Club).
