be found in private collections in both the USA and in other

air, under adverse conditions and its ever changing light has 
improved her skills, while expanding her vision. She

Paint Out April 7-9; 2011.

Artist’s Statement

All sense of time is suspended for me while I am painting 
natures beautiful bounty. My paintings often reflect the soft 
tranquility that I feel while I paint. I am fascinated by the 
challenges that nature presents with its ever changing light 
and moods. My heart fills with joy when I come close to 
expressing with paint what I feel and what I see. My hope is 
that the very quiet softness that I feel whenever I am painting 
will bathe the viewer in its calming voice.
