Background

I can’t remember a time in my life when I wasn’t sketching and painting! However time constraints with teaching, family commitments and several decades of costume designing and creating left little time to enjoy my art. More recently however, regular group painting sessions and painting plein air whenever possible have rekindled that passion. Retirement with my husband has also been a great opportunity to enjoy travel and photography.
