Originally from Connecticut, she does not consider herself a ‘Southwest Painter’. She is inspired by nature regardless of what piece of the planet she is standing on. She is known for her work depicting the primal elements – Earth and Sky, Wind, Fire and Water. Her pastels and oils have been exhibited throughout the country from Cape Cod to California and her professional affiliations include membership in the Connecticut Pastel Society (signature member), Connecticut Women Artists (two-term president and long-time council member), the Pastel Society of America, the Salmagundi Club in New York and the Arizona Pastel Painters Association. Her work has been juried into shows with the International Association of Pastel Societies and she has had numerous one-woman and group shows in the Northeast. She is currently represented by the Manheim Gallery in Cottonwood, Arizona.
