As a little girl I would search through my mother’s art supplies and was intrigued hearing stories of my grandfather who painted scenes from memories of his childhood in Switzerland. Someday, I thought, I want to be an artist too. I started college pursuing an art degree but practicality had me soon earning a business degree. I have always been interested in following my passion for art but life as a busy wife and mother of three kids became my priority. It took a serious case of breast cancer in 2002 to convince me get back to chasing my dream. I took my first class at Glassell School of Art (Houston, Texas) in 2003 and have been taking classes ever since.

One of the things I enjoy most about painting is that my eyes work as camera lenses as I travel about my daily surroundings looking for inspiration. I see the world differently than I used to. The mundane suddenly takes on new meaning and I see details that others don’t see. It brings me great pleasure to transpose things I have seen or experienced into a painting that may, hopefully, touch the soul of the viewer. Painting takes me to a place of calm, peaceful stillness. It has almost become a form of meditation for me. I think it is for this reason that I use quiet, subdued colors in my paintings. I am filled with a deep sense of joy when a painting is going well and I get it right. We lose ourselves in things we love. We find ourselves there too.

I am a collage of everything I experience.
Everything that we experience helps to define who we are.  We are like a puzzle, carefully constructed out of smaller pieces, that when viewed from afar can be seen as an intricate larger pattern.  We are complex, detailed individuals that over many years work to construct ourselves into a meaningful whole.  Hopefully, all the small moments in our lives add up to something larger, something meaningful and worthwhile.
