I love painting landscapes and abstracts. I love vivid colors and I strive to create beauty in my work and in my life. As a child I visited New York's art museums. By the age of seven I was in love with Monet and Van Gogh. Over the years I have studied with many incredible art teachers. For several years I attended the Ceraso School of Impressionism in Colorado. I am influenced by every painting I see and presently, I am working with oils and acrylics, both in my studio and outdoors in the midst of nature.
