About the Artist

When I was forty years old, I began to learn to paint and draw at the Princeton Art Association. What started as a hobby became a passion. I enjoy working in oils best although I have tried other mediums.

My first career was nursing, followed by marriage and raising four children. Because Housewives never retire, I rise early to paint before the day summons me with all its distractions. Like many artists, I paint in my head, constantly looking and trying "to see."

My work may be seen at the following galleries:
The Coryell Gallery at the Porkyard, Lambertville
The Farnsworth Gallery, Bordentown, NJ
Lawrenceville Art & Frame Gallery
