​My art education began in fashion illustration in NYC. I also received my BA in Art from San Jose State University. I worked in display in my early years and enjoyed freelance work in decorative painting. I taught elementary school for 24 years in Petaluma (with a teaching credential from Dominican University). Recently retired, I am re-engaging in my work with portraits, still life, and and other painted pieces.

I paint commissioned pieces and recently participated in the Black Lives Matter mural in Petaluma, CA.

Please feel free to contact me for freelance and commissioned work, as well as any interest in paintings posted on my site.
