"Art is playing, dancing, spontaneity."
Wolf Kahn
About Me
​​I am an award-winning artist who loves to experiment and work intuitively, often without a plan or theme in mind. For me, this process is freeing, forgiving and spontaneous.
You can see my extemporaneous process in the interplay of color and texture, the use of multiple layers, the inclusion of collaged elements, and the sense of movement and energy. Each art piece that you purchase is unique and distinctive.
​I consider myself to be a perpetual student, which is why I avoid being labelled or restricted to one type of medium or subject matter. While most of my latest works are painted in acrylic or encaustic, (wax), I also dabble in pastel, mixed media, alcohol inks, and printmaking.​
​​​​​​​​
Prior to retirement, I was a librarian and library administrator. Throughout my professional career I have taken numerous art workshops and classes from great teachers. Most recently I participated in Nicholas Wilton’s intensive Art2Life courses and the encaustic masterclass series, Painting with Fire. ​
