I am an artist in mind and spirit. My passion to paint began when I was 10 years old. My first teacher was a French impressionist; she encouraged me to be bold with color and to bring my heart to the canvas. Her sage advice allowed me to deepen my style over many decades as an abstract impressionist. Although my work evolves, as I have, through my experiences and the many artist groups and teachers, including those at the art student league in NYC. I have remained true to the foundation learned in my past while I explore the language of plastic in this ever-changing world. My paintings are a personal expression of my past, present, and future.
