In 2001 I began taking art classes, first watercolor, then acrylics and finally oil.  These classes were so motivating and it was so much fun to be with others with similar interests!  Since then I have  studied painting at the Marco Island Center for the Arts, The Von Leibig Art Center in Naples, Florida, the Butler Art Institue and Youngstown State University in Youngstown, Ohio and Cuyahoga Falls Art Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.  I continue to take classes of interest and have found that instructional videos and art shows on PBS are also helpful.

Today, I use watercolors, acrylics and oils to paint outdoor scenes, flowers, people, and still life.  My paintings depict the beaches of Florida, the mysterious nearby Everglades and the graceful sailboats in the Gulf of Mexico.  I have also completed paintings during visits recently to Greece, Guatemala, Canada, Sedona, AZ and the New England states.

Presently I am a member of the Marco Island Center For The Arts, Marco Island Foundation for the Arts, The Von Leibig Art Center of Naples, FL and the United Arts Council of Collier County, FL.
