 Picture
Simple themes characterize my work: one tree, a singular point at a beach, a bouquet or a distant mountain.  I use vibrant colors and texture to catch the eye, with the intention to create a pause in the viewer's life, to soothe, to cause a smile, to allow reflection, to create a space for change, find a way or a path, whether in life, or just the moment.  My work is grouped into these groups: 
The Long View - mixed media on canvas inspired by reflections on time that has passed, current thoughts and how what we do now, impacts the future for others, near and far and ourselves.  These paintings generally focus on the sea, the surrounding natural environment and the beauty of the coast.  This series is characterized by a limited color palette and views leading to the far away horizon.
 
Vistas West - mixed media textured paintings on canvas representing mostly California landscapes to honor their beauty through the seasons.
 
Floral Whimsy - watercolor and mixed media on canvas or paper focused on flowers, their beauty, lightness and symbol of new life; and,
 
Changing the Equation - inks, digital representations, paint on non-porous materials such as tile because when using this technique, I broke through many of my established painting routines and that reflection in everyday life. These pieces range from tonal abstract to realistic cityscapes.

Based in the Ingleside District in San Francisco, I have been painting for my entire life and exhibiting for more than 15 years in San Francisco.  In addition to being self-taught, I have taken many classes and workshops at San Francisco and Sierra Nevada Community Colleges from wonderful and inspirational artists.  I extend my utmost appreciation to teachers Gayle Rappaport-Weiland, Linda Hope, Bruce Katz, Anna-Lisa Stardust van de Valk and Mel Prest.
