Welcome!

I explore vibrant watercolors, acrylics, and mixed media pieces that capture nature's beauty, intimate portraits, and whimsical daily scenes.

I painted this for my friend Jenny, who loves the bougainvillea that grow abundantly in Italy. I struggled with the Italian balcony, so I opted for this approach instead.

Mabel Dodge Luhan in Taos

Watercolor and Pencil

14" by 20"

For my 50th birthday, I went to a writing retreat led by Jen Louden. She was inspiring. The work, the writers, and the beauty of Taos stay with me. We stayed at The Mabel Dodge Luhan House. You could feel the presence of the artists who traveled through this lodge throughout the years. I love this quote from Mabel - "They do as they please, they say what they think, and nobody cares, for everyone is busy doing likewise."

Jane is my friend Dena's mom. I made this card for her 80th birthday. Her wry sense of humor, coupled with her knowing eye rolls, is one for the ages! She is the type of sassy I want to be.
