I interpret the world through color—whether I am contemplating everyday life in a small town, exotic travels or even yogic philosophy, painting gives me a better understanding.
 
After graduating from Idaho State University I taught school for many years, traveling and painting during the summers.  I served as an Artist in Residence for the Idaho Commission on the Arts and traveled throughout the state teaching art in under served rural areas.  I taught classes and workshops locally, through community education and at Idaho State University.  After a sabbatical living and painting in rural Ireland I left teaching to create art full time.
 
I live and work on a small farm tucked away in the southeast corner of Idaho.  From my studio I have a bird’s eye view of the farm and surrounding mountains.  Much of my art is a reflection of the flowers and land we nurture.  “My work is focused on capturing mood and light, provoking thought and expressing beauty.”
 
I am a merit member of the Idaho Watercolor Society and my work has appeared in numerous publications.  I have been featured in several one-woman shows and exhibited at regional and national venues.
