Marabell
Inspired by a beautiful sculpture that I saw on a European vacation, I finally took time to express delight in its spirit. How many times have you gone on a trip and fell in awe with an unusual art piece that was in public view to delight each passerby? With this...
Cherry Blossoms
Cherry Blossoms is our family code word. It means: STOP COMPLAINING and LETS HAVE FUN TOGETHER. This became our "go to" phrase during a vacation where occasional hiccups happened. There were typical long lines, exhibits that were closed for renovation or plans that...
Egret on the Move
As a new year began, I made a few artistic goals for 2019. This zany piece was the beginning of my immersion into the world of multimedia. For six weeks, I cast away traditional methods of painting. I started by gluing bits and pieces of printed materials. Then I...
Wearable Art
There's new art to see, come along with me . . . I took some time off as an artist. For about 6 months, I worked on my other projects and thought carefully about what direction to take my art career. After several years of spending my Summer at art festivals, I took a...

Summer Sky
A fresh painting from the easel. I began this when I was inspired by a set of summer lights that I purchased to hang on a tree over the patio in the backyard. These vintage styled lights are bright and add a festive feeling to everyday. It is a way to make a Summer...
A Fresh Look
In the process of creating a new painting, I often stop working to walk across the room from the piece to get a new perspective of how it looks. This is a typical artistic method that I find essential in painting a successful piece. For the past few months, I took a...
Studio A Creative Mess
I realized today that I paint and create art like I cook. I have been told that I am a messy cook. Likewise, my studio can be in a state of disarray when I am in the middle of making art. Today, as I enter my work space, I see the perfect storm, my creative...
