About

I am a retired nurse who became a full time artist in 2010. Being a painter and a poet keeps my feet off the ground and my head in the clouds.

ARTIST STATEMENT

My art is a visual expression of emotion using acrylic paint and mixed media. My paintings are abstract and come from my creative center. I mostly follow the paint as shapes and colors unfold using multiple layers until the work feels finished.
