​I live in beautiful Richmond, Virginia where I have studied drawing and painting at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Studio School for over 20 years.  I have been in numerous exhibitions and shows in galleries and was represented by the Williamsburg Gallery until it closed several years before the pandemic.  My work has evolved through the years, from realistic still life and florals to my current abstracted landscapes.  I discovered Cold Wax Medium a few years ago, and it has transformed my painting practice.  These landscapes show my interest in color and mark making.  I use imagery from photos I have taken of places I love and have visited in my past, but I also draw on imagination to create works that reflect the beauty I see in our natural world.
