I enjoy working with acrylic paints and collage abstraction, playing with the whirl and swirl of colors and how it mimics the winds of change in my world. The simple beauty, whimsy and movement of colors makes me happy! After living in Arlington for 27 years, I moved to Burlington, Vermont in the summer of 2021. Since then, I’ve dedicated a large chunk of my time to making art. I now have an art studio at the Green House, within walking distance of where I live.

I’ve gravitated toward mixed-media pieces, including acrylic and collage canvasses of flowers and summer gardens, monoprints and watercolor/collage pieces. In the past year, I spent some magical time in Portugal making abstract landscape art. I hope to bring some new landscapes to Open Studios as well as more floral and abstract creations. I credit the Arlington Center for the Arts, specifically Linda Dunn’s collage class and the longtime influence of Adria Arch, with giving me the inspiration and confidence to think of myself as a visual artist. When I am not creating art, I continue to enjoy making music, writing fiction and spending time outdoors and on the water.
