Her main subjects are the sea and beaches, sounds and marshes, of the Outer Banks of NC. She studied painting in Woodstock, NY from 1969-73. Her approach to painting is to work from the abstract, loosely at first, toward realism, layering paint opaquely and transparently, juxtaposing subtlely-mixed neutral colors (greys, browns) against brighter more saturated color, until she achieves a sense of atmosphere and distance, but not necessarily detail, that reads to her eye. She lives and works on Roanoke Island. Her work is custom-framed by Lynn Atkins Custom Framing in Manteo. Swells Bringing Shells Triptych
