For me color is an art medium itself and a partner. With it I explore space and form, enter conversations, and allow the opening of a story. There is room for me to understand my feelings and space for the experience of my audience.

I have been painting since my early years. It continues to tell me new things about who I am. I consider watercolor my first love where art utensils are concerned. I’m very grateful to live in this community of coastal Rhode Island, so rich in artists and art lovers alike.

I have a gallery and teaching space at 1733 Main Road in Tiverton. It is open by appointment and I will hold retail hours the Summer of 2026!
