My work is involved with the landscape and inspired by abstract patterns against atmospheric color. My paintings are about a solitary discovery of place and the unconscious forms generated from the experience. An emotional undercurrent is important to my imagery and my use of paint is mostly expressionistic within this framework. The landscape becomes a launching point for my imagination and interpreting the experience through painting a form of meditation.

I paint primarily using Acrylics on Linen or Canvas and I studied at the PA
Academy of the Fine Arts. I received a four-year certificate in Fine Arts from
the Academy and I was awarded the J. Henry Schiedt Traveling Scholarship for
work shown in the 1983 student annual. I later studied Art History at the
University of Pennsylvania through the joint B.F.A. Academy Certificate
program and I received my degree from Penn in 1989.
My home and studio are in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania where I live with my
husband and two sons. I have shown my work in Philadelphia and the
surrounding suburbs, Maryland, New York, New Jersey and South Korea. You
