About me
I take my inspiration as an artist from the beauty of nature, gardens and flowers. This appreciation has encouraged my creative interests throughout life, which have included many pursuits over the years from charcoal drawing and calligraphy, to decorative arts, poetry and photography.
I received much of my training as an artist from the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA and also studied drawing in Bath, England. More recently, I have expanded my repertoire by taking art classes in Naples, FL. I now work in pastels, acrylics (specifically, mono-printing and fluid art), as well as photography—often focused on the florals and nature motifs that offer inspiration, whether locally or through my travels.
I have exhibited original pastels and acrylics at Winchester Public Library in a solo show, as well as the Winchester Artists Network’s member shows. In addition, my photographs have been featured by the Griffin Museum of Photography in exhibits throughout Winchester, MA.
