Transition from being a nurse, and then hospital administrator, to a full time artist
was nearly seamless. Since childhood art has been a refuge for me. When the opportunity came to develop it full time, I grasped it with both hands.
Life tells us its directions and when I followed its directives, I arrived full into abstract acrylic painting and teaching both children and adults.
A medical background, as well as one in spirituality,

What cannot be seen in photographs is that each piece is highly textured.
Often beads and tiny pieces of mirror add sparkle and life, and

A few years ago due to health considerations, I stopped doing my
large paintings and also writing this blog. These past few months
I have been working an art journals discovering a whole new

I have a whole new group of art internet friends who are passionate
about journalling and learn something
new every day.
