Travel is a great classroom. Traveling around America and Europe has a powerful influence, helping me understand and see how different atmospheres combined with new surroundings, create fantastic changing color palettes. I can almost “feel” colors and am inspired to translate this sensation of another place to canvas.
Diving and sailing around the Florida Keys, the Caribbean, and Hawaii, has brought a parade of bright fluorescent colors of tropical fish, corals, and plants to my ever-growing perception of color.

I hope my paintings take you to the places of their inspiration.

I grew up along the Florida Gulf Coast and now live near the Blue Ridge Mountains in central Virginia with my husband, our Lab George and Lollypop our cat.
