Born in Rochester, NY,  I was raised and worked in the restaurant business before moving to Birmingham, AL in the late 1980's. 

I started painting about 12 years ago.  Through much persuasion by my husband Jeff to take an art class, I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Carol Weston, my art instructor.  Carol is a great inspiration, teacher, and friend. I have won several awards at local art associations' Art Shows. I love making art. It has become my therapy. The feelings of accomplishment is overwhelming.  I have met, and made, many wonderful friends through my art.  At the same time, I am able to produce what I call beauty.  It is a wonderful feeling when my grandchildren ask to see my latest work.

I commission paintings as well as sell those that are on this website. Being selected as one of the artists whose work was included in the Birmingham-Hoover Sketchbook, has been one of the most exciting accomplishments of my life. This is one of my many blessings, and I am very grateful.
