Nature has always been the greatest source of inspiration for my artwork. I experience peace and wonder in the beauty of the natural world, and my goal is to translate these feelings into paintings of land, sky, water, and plants. Whether the subject is a sunrise over the ocean, a landscape in a nature preserve, or my flower garden, I strive to create paintings that convey my love of nature, evoke a feeling of peace and joy, and transport the viewer to another place.

My paintings have been in solo and group exhibitions, have won awards, and can be found in many homes and businesses. I am an Associate Member of the Pastel Society of America and a member of the Philadelphia Pastel Society and the Arts & Cultural Council of Bucks County. I was previously a Signature Member of the Pastel Society of New Jersey.
