I grew up in a rural area at the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York surrounded by pastures, forests, streams, ponds and wetlands.   After graduating with a degree in Fine Art,  I moved to northern New Jersey where I worked for over 25 years as an art teacher while raising a daughter, working towards my M. A. in Fine Art and painting and showing my work locally.

I lived for several years in Park City, Utah inspired by the natural world at high elevations and now I live by the ocean along the New Jersey shoreline. My work continues to be influenced by the light, textures and forms of the natural world.
