Artist’s Statement
Figures and faces are the focus of my current series. I use these human
features to show relationships or to tell stories. The bond that
exists between people when they are truly connecting provides the
content for this series. My work is contemporary in style and
subject. To express complex emotions and to create movement and
depth I layer transparent watercolor, gouache, and watercolor crayon.
My time is shared between Los Altos and the mountains of Ebbetts Pass,
California where my husband and I have a year-round cabin. The
rugged Sierra landscape provides the space and solitude that allow me
to return to the studio creatively recharged.
Art Education
Two undergraduate years at UCLA in the School of Fine Arts before
transferring to San Francisco State and a Bachelor in Education.
Community College classes and workshops furthered my art education.
