Always in love with God's creation I try to emulate His majesty in my work using vivid colors,some exaggeration or impressionism in the scenery I illustrate. Knowing nothing compares with the glory of God's creation,at best I bring my humble 're-creations' & offer the viewer a glimpse of how I see the world. I love art & love to paint and illustrate & hope that the work I do will bring some satisfaction to some one else's lives.I created www.ArtRave.com where I invite other artists who share in good family values in art presentation, to come & promote their art & links to their sales on my site.

Born in NYC 1954, I am #3 of 14 brothers & sisters,I left city life for greener pastures in 1984 to paint & illustrate rural country scenes, landscapes and seascapes by memory of earlier days on the new England coast. Raised my family of 5 children in the country & later began traveling cross country when I became single again, on short trips to gain new inspirations for my work. Now I'm back in north central Pennsylvania leisurely working from home as I finally found the time to devote to my art & network~ArtRave. Virtually giving up oils & turning to acrylics as my medium of choice, along with pen & inks, charcoals & pencils illustrating towns & countryside both real & imagined. Favoring New England countrysides,lakes,ponds & mountains as well as scenes from the South West & anything inbetween. Working on canvas, paper, wood, rock, glass & various crafts, doing signwork, billboards, murals & stage sets for homes, offices, churches & schools. Charity work as needed, I lend a hand to help the needy & fundraisers for worthy causes. I', a Christian, a mother & grandmother, my art reflects what is good in life ,inspired by my faith in God & the beauty of his creation as he is the master artist of us all.
