I am a Washington, DC artist. My paintings reflect the joy, excitement and exhilarating high that have enveloped me since returning to my love of art after nearly twenty years.

My working impasto style includes a variety of different mediums including acrylic, graphite, gesso, pastels and watercolors that infuse my paintings with vibrant color, movement and free expression reflecting the love and appreciation of life I experience every day.

2019 and 2020 have challenged me in ways unexpected, including a life-threatening illness in my family. I have channeled these feelings of powerlessness into a new sense of openness in my art. The gift of accepting situations beyond my control has opened a door to painting with abandon, transforming difficult and even terrifying experiences into a positive and creative outlet for my emotions. The result is a new series of work that is alive, confident and playful.

As a self-taught artist living in Georgetown in my native Washington, DC and a resident artist at The Jackson Art Center here, it is very rewarding to be a member of a thriving artistic community.

The first week in March 2020, which serendipitously was before the Coronavirus pandemic hit, I was honored to show five of my paintings at Van Der Plas Gallery in New York City.
