Artist Statement: For me, the act of creating is about self-exploration along with the desire to connect with others on a deeper level. I want my work to spark an emotion from the viewer, perhaps inspire curiosity, awaken a memory from their life; or simply to delight them with the particular colors, values, shapes and texture that allow them to create their own story in the painting.
Bio: I have always felt that being an artist was my destiny, and would sit for hours drawing as a child. After college, I had a long and successful career in marketing while raising my two sons. I’ve since developed a robust art practice that includes abstract, figurative and narrative subject matter often inspired by my travels. Some of my key inspirations are the Bay Area Figurative Painters like David Park, Richard Diebenkorn, and the New York Abstract Expressionists like Elaine and Willem de Kooning, Lee Krasner and Rothko. I'm a member of the Main Street Arts Gallery in downtown Martinez, where you can see a variety of my paintings. I also regularly show in juried exhibitions throughout Northern California and Arizona where my work can be found in private collections. It's a privilege to share my work with you.
