I come from a family of painters.  In addition to their modeling and inspiration, I have some formal training but am mostly self-taught.  I am recently retired and live in Broad Ripple with my beloved sculptor husband and our bossy, old cat.

I paint vibrantly colored scenes from nature: rolling landscapes, flowing cloudscapes, mountains and trees and gardens and flowers.  The unifying theme to all of this is flow and change:  each scene is fleeting and captures a moment; my hope is that this sense of fleeting whimsy and beauty inspires some mindfulness – of appreciating and celebrating these moments when they occur.
