Personal Statement: My art is pure without secrets - my paintings vibrate with color, movement and energy.
I describe my art as a cultural expression of this American Girl's Life. Created from my fertile imagination, my artwork is my prayerful music producing spiritual healing and satisfaction for me.

Current Work
I am currently adding to my "Living Madonna Series" - part of my ongoing passion for acrylic and watercolor paintings in the Old World style of the Cuzco School of religious portraiture.
Short Bio
My artist trajectory began at the age of three. I began with crayons and watercolors. I am something of an autodidactic artist.

My ongoing love for painting is due to the time I spend (50%) painting Plein-Air. Plein-Air (French for "out of doors" or "in open air") is the centuries old tradition of taking your easel outside and confronting nature directly.
When I am painting "en plein-air", I am dealing with the elements - the wonders of nature, changing light, weather conditions, people's actions, bugs, you name it. It's an invigorating spiritual adventure for me.

When I paint I try to offer/share a glimpse of reality mixed with a refuge to those in search of beauty and imaginary horizons.
