About Me

My photo
I am a professional oil painter that focuses on floral still life. Some ask how I chose to become an artist. The answer to that is simple. I didn't choose to become an artist....art chose me

This summer has gone by so quickly. I've been teaching so much that I haven't had much time at my own easel. The summer has been filled with trips to Chester, NJ, Bozeman, Montana, Zion's National Park where I hiked with my kids, and a week up at our cabin in Utah for a much needed break that I have barely stepped foot into my own studio.

Painting is not like riding a bike. It's more like an Olympic sport. You have to keep at it or you lose it so I set up this sweet little still life to just get me warmed up for bigger and better things. How I love to paint David Austin Roses!!! They are a delight to not only paint but to smell.

  1. So beautiful, as always. Glad to see you blogging. I always look forward to seeing what you are painting. I took a class from you in Crestview, Florida several years back and nearly froze to death. I couldn't paint because I had my blanket wrapped up to my nose. Will never forget that and I bet you won't either. (smiles)
