I have always been a visual artist. Encouraged from a young age, raised with very talented sisters and fortunate enough to grow up in a home that had a designated art room.

I attended The Rhode Island School of Design, pursued career and raised a family, and recently returned to my first passion - art.

Instantly captivated by the rich, lush color and the fluid medium of oil paint, I explore figurative work, still life and landscapes. I work directly from observation "alla prima," with paintings completed and in one session and to capture the immediacy of the moment in an expressive style.
