About Me

 
Painting with oils has been a part of my life since I was a child. Growing up in Silicon Valley with views of San Francisco Bay provided me with ample opportunities to paint. Through art, I identify what I find beautiful. 
 
Growing up, my family moved around the Midwest. In the following years, we lived in the Bay Area and later relocated back to the Midwest. I feel that the experiences and places I have visited and lived have made me cosmopolitan in the sense that I have taken them with me.  My artwork reflects my travels and cultural experiences. I'm inspired by our travels to Florida, Tennessee, and Colorado, where our children reside. I studied in Tuscany as part of the La Macina di San Cresci Artist Fellowship. As a result, I have developed a distinctive aesthetic. Though I have painted for many years, I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree later in life. I am a full-time artist living in Troy, Ohio. I have exhibited locally and regionally since 2010.
 
I am inspired by artists past and present. Cezanne, Van Gogh, Monet, and Gaugin are among my favorite Impressionists and Post-Impressionists. As a member of The Dayton Society of Artists, I enjoy the involvement and support of other artists in the vibrant art community there.
 
In my work, I love painting portraits, landscapes, and abstracts in oil. I create motifs using primal forms and design elements. As an artist, I am driven by inspiration. My work aims to express my soul and inspire others.

QUOTES I LOVE
 
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
Michelangelo
 
Art is a microscope which the artist fixes on the secrets of his soul, and shows to people these secrets which are common to all.
Leo Tolstoy
 
A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.
Cezanne
 
Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.
Van Gogh
