For years, I painted in watercolors, mostly botanical subject matter, mostly representational. More enjoyable for me to paint and for the viewer to view are my more whimsical, imaginative paintings. I created some of these in watercolor but have moved to acrylic and oil on canvas, and to drawing. Exploring shapes and forms, I relish the abstract. All my work shows my love of color. My work now: colorful, whimsical, joyful, and imbued with humor and mystery. In addition to practicing my art for 75 years, I’ve also spent many years teaching art to people of all ages, from preschool children to seniors. I have exhibited my artwork in California; Portland, Oregon; New Mexico; Tijuana, Guadalajara, and Mexico City in Mexico. My work is in collections throughout the United States, in Mexico and in Colombia, South America.
