Nurture the Soul

I paint vibrant yet serene landscapes that invite you to pause take a deep breath and savor the moment.

Finding balance in my life as always been a challenge – work vs. play, me vs others, and acceptance vs defiance. Nature is the best medicine for me. A sunset or field of wildflowers forces me to slow down, forget the to do list and put life in perspective. Nature’s beauty opens my heart and nurtures my soul. My work is an invitation to replenish your spirit and feel thee gratitude and wonder in the world around you.

 Pastel is my primary medium and I love its immediacy, vibrant colors ,and its ability to capture glowing light..

I have been working with pastels for approximately 35 years. Favorite places of inspiration include the Eastern Shore of Maryland, the New Jersey Shore, the Brandywine River Valley, Hudson, New York and Maine or anyplace that can be seen from my kayak or while hiking. 

I have raised three amazing humans, am nuts about two grandchildren and maintain good relationships with all my nine siblings. My husband of 42 years is still my best friend. Family has always been my priority. I have a studio at Aston Mills Arts in Aston PA where I paint and am open for appointment throughout the year.
