About
My background as a fashion editor for a major women’s magazine provided me with my first creative experiences. Working with the designers tuned my eye to see and think in terms of color and form. It was the foundation and the beginning of my aesthetic and creative evolution. My love of nature inspired me to earn a degree in Landscape Design from the New York Botanical Garden, and subsequently, I had my own business for more than for 15 years. In landscape design, working with space, size, textures, masses and perspective is very similar to the fundamentals of painting. Design is a series of decisions you make and my work in that field turned me onto the outside study of nature, the effects of light, atmosphere and changing seasons. I am enthralled by space and light and how those elements react to the here and now in our environment. I like to paint solitary moments in time: the movement of light over objects… whether a still life or something in nature. I am fortunate to be able to paint what I love in two places north and south.
