“Circles of Life”

My art studio is my ultimate play room, a place for letting inspiration just flow. No plans, rules or preconceived notions here – the work just evolves.

My painting technique embraces a raw, intuitive freedom, like returning to the honest, unconstrained creativity of childhood. It’s characterized by bold shapes, expressive markings, multiple layers, and vibrant use of color.   

“Encounter”

Rather than aiming to communicate a complete intellectual concept, my work leans heavily into visual/graphic design and composition. I explore balance, contrast, rhythm, texture and form in a playful yet deliberate way.

It is less about narrative and more about how the elements interact on the canvas: how a splash of color feels next to a geometric form, how a scribble or scratch can bring movement or energy. My joyful approach invites viewers to respond emotionally rather than analytically.

Born and raised in New York, I have been a resident of Oakland, California since 1990. I am married and mother to two marvelous adults. I am a retired interior design consultant and lifelong artist.
