Artist Statement
"Appreciation of art has always been an integral part of my life and an underpinning in my former career endeavors. From minoring in art history in undergraduate school; to becoming an international flight attendant spending much of my layovers in some of the world's greatest museums and marketplaces; to becoming a marriage and family therapist and approaching couples therapy as an art form rather than a science . . . art has been the centerpiece as well as the connection between my heart, mind, and soul. As a parent, I applied my love of art by painting life size wall murals in my children's bedrooms of their latest interest du jour from Sesame Street to Star Wars.
Now as an empty nester, I can finally exercise this lifelong passion for art my way with oils on canvas primarily in the forms of still life and landscapes. I love to play with light and shadow in my work to highlight small, intimate details that might otherwise go unnoticed by a casual observer. I am basically self-taught and paint primarily in the traditional style of realism....with a bit of impressionism thrown in for good measure once in a while. My excitement for a new project is palpable from the very moment I decide my subject matter and devise my color palette to the piece's natural conclusion. Subsequently I experience an emotional mix of personal reward for the artwork's completion and a sense of sadness for the same reason . . . as if saying goodbye after such an intimate encounter is ever easy.
I have been fortunate to be a featured artist in several large local shows in 2006, and successfully selling numerous
pieces at each show. In addition, I have one of my paintings currently on exhibit in Kennsington Square College of
Art in London, England for the Lilly Oncology on Canvas "Expressions of a Cancer Journey" . . . its art book of
exhibits to be published next year."
