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!

In the past year, I�ve also developed an interest in hand-made books and �upcycled� old books, and hope to show off some of these at Open Studios.

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. I�ve experimented with portrayals of the Vermont landscape, including views from Mt. Philo, Camel�s Hump and the quintessential red barn. And did I mention flowers?

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 enjoy making music, writing fiction and spending time outdoors and on the water.
