About

I studied art here and there after a career as an educator and mother.  But simply put, I love creatively interpreting life. Actually I believe every human being does in some way or another. It’s who we are.

My story began painting with watercolors while simultaneously taking sculpture classes.  When I look back on it, this was where two worlds collided. Now I paint with more dimension and I sculpt with some painting thrown in. My paintings are layered - scraping, and building up fields of color using oil paint, and various mediums -marble dust, cold wax, metal paints, charcoal, etc. Sculptures which begin as clay pieces morph into silk wrapped paper creations treated with metallic paints.

I am a member of the National Association of Women Artists (NAWA) and the New England Sculptors Association (NESA)..  I have exhibited work with Rockport Art Association, Cortile Gallery, Newburyport Art Association, North Shore Arts Association, Concord Art, Endicott College, Marblehead Art Association, Galatea Fine Art, Charles Fine Art,  and with the Experimental Group of RAA.  

When I am not painting or doing sculpture, I’m thinking about painting and doing sculpture.

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance
