I have always been an artist. From the age of three, I was painting and drawing and collecting costume jewelry. Always finding creative pursuits while working full time as a Registered Nurse in San Diego, I enjoyed exploring art in various media. Having no formal nor any type of art training.

I am inspired by everything, as is evident in the depth and breadth of paintings I have created over the years. My work is shown collections all over the country. I paint mainly in oils and acrylics with many types of enhancements to create unique pieces. I’m always thinking about my next collection or new work. I think about art constantly and I want to inspire people to enjoy art and to take a chance and try it themselves and feel good about what they see.

After almost eighty years of creating, I still have ongoing discovery of new subjects, colors, materials, and inspirational topics galore!  I am a very grateful person to have received the gift of creating art that I can feel fulfilled by and create visual happiness for others to experience and enjoy.

I am a self-trained “Outsider Artist,” happy to play with color, light and shadows.  I like to create energy and movement in some of my pieces. My latest interest is Neo-Expressionism of the 1970’s with Jean Michel Basquiat’s work inspiring me just before Covid hit. I taught myself, during the lock down, how to paint in this manner and I find it so incredible!!  Such freedom and inspiration! My passion for art today is greater than ever and I feel as though I have so much more to discover and paint!  Can’t wait!
