Always in love with God's creation I try to emulate his majesty in my work with vivid colors with some exaggeration or impressionism in the scenery I illustrate. Knowing nothing can be able to compare with the glory of God's creation at best I bring my humble 'recreations' & 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.

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 travelling cross country when I became single again, on short trips to gain new inspirations for my work. Now I'm back at the farm in north central Pennsylvania leisurely working from home as I finally found the time to devote soley to my art. 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.
