Artists Profile
After participating in all available art classes in high school and college, I took a break from painting
until retirement. In the intervening years, I studied at the NY School of Interior Design, worked as an
interior designer and as a window dresser for a Greenwich, CT decorating business, ran a small catering
business specializing in desserts, wrote special interest articles for and worked on layout for a Greenwich,
CT magazine, and owned a desktop publishing and graphic arts business producing marketing materials for small
businesses. All these businesses have a common thread of art, visual expression and a desire to try new
artistic mediums.
While living in Riverside Connecticut for 30 years as a wife and mother, I pursued my artistic inclinations
by volunteering at our local public schools and yacht club on various decorative painting and crafts projects.
At home I painted several decorative murals of local points of interest and enjoyed needlepoint and gardening.
Since moving to AMI with my husband in 2005, I have dabbled in mosaics with ceramic tiles, pottery shards,
beach glass and Italian glass tiles on projects such as tables, sideboards, mirrors, birdbaths, benches,
trays and planters. My first love, however is painting acrylics on canvases. My beach baby paintings have
resulted in a number of commissions. I specialize in landscapes and florals ... all meant to take the viewer
on a visual "vacation."
