“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up..”
-Pablo Picasso
Once upon a time in a pleasant little town in rural upstate New York, a baby was born to an eccentric artist family. She was raised on artichokes,honey butter and cerulean blue paint and even before she could utter her very first words , she was carrying a paintbrush and donning a viridian beret. That baby was me.

I have been painting for over 45 years now! People often ask me, "Where do your ideas come from?", "Where did you learn to paint?". I've had no formal training, other than learning the mastery of the tools and medium by watching my family. While they succeeded in their academically "correct" art careers, I veered off into the twilight zone pursuing a distinctive style all my own. My ideas come from out of the blue and the unplanned paintings paint themselves, literally taking form when brush meets canvas. You will find my love of people and animals (especially cats) often show up in my work.
It wasn't until I began painting professionally and in quantity that out of necessity, I discovered my present medium, house paint. The objects that I paint today have broadened from the humdrum canvas to an array of found junk, castaway furniture and walls of all sizes.
Over the past twenty plus years, between raising three children and other enlightening adventures ,I have produced a huge body of work. My paintings and prints have been proudly featured in many publications and catalogs including Country Living Magazine, Country Folk Art Magazine, The Museum of American Folk Art, House Beautiful, Womans Day ,Family Circle,Ethan Allen,Country Curtains, and Country Manor to name a few, as well as in galleries and shops internationally and are now available to you through my website.
Please take a peek through my many galleries of available prints, as well as the originals page. I also do commission work, so feel free to email me with any questions or requests you may have. Thanks for stopping by and come back soon and often!
