Since 1986, I have been living in New York. I was born on July 4, 1950 in Portland , Maine. My early years until I turned 7 were greatly affected by the landscape of rural Maine. We lived in Cape Elizabeth at the time until we moved to California. I studied at the University of California at Santa Cruz, then went east again to study at the New York Studio School. Gretna Campbell, Philip Guston and other well-known artists were my instructors. It was an intense study of drawing and painting from the figure. Later, I went onto get a teaching credential and taught in the public and private schools. My devoted husband, Harry, and I raised two beautiful daughters Amy and Lori. Presently, I am painting daily, as well as drawing weekly from the figure with the Warwick Drawing Group. I have retired from teaching drawing at Mount St. Mary College at the Desmond Campus in Newburgh,NY.
Most importantly I give thanks to the Lord JESUS CHRIST for the talent which He has given me and for the opportunity to use these creative skills for His glory.
