I work in both Realistic and Abstract Styles. Born and raised in the Midwest, my love of design, color, and structure led me to different and yet similar careers in the arts. I currently live in Chester County, Pa.
Formerly an Interior Designer, I worked as a designer in both contract and residential design and restoration. For a number of years I was the Design Editor for a national publication based in New York.
NOW as a painter, the characteristics of both design and art have become my subjects. I started my painting career in 1992 in watercolor, and then moved on to Acrylics and Oils. Animals, flowers, and landscapes have all been subjects of my brushes. From small-scaled realistic studies to large abstracts, color and pattern are the unifying force.
I have a BA from University of Iowa and have studied at the Art Students League and Parsons School of Design in New York. I have also taken classes with various artists in Chester County, Pennsylvania including Jon Redmond and Rea Redifer.
