The birth of my passion for art emerged during adolescence. It began with squiggles and line drawings morphing into colorful creations using pen and brilliant colors of India ink.
There were many art classes, and eventually university for four years, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting.
Exploration of a variety of media including drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, photography, printmaking and ceramics were all useful in the evolution of the artist I was to become.

Following art school and not prepared to nurture this passion head on, I became drawn to the interior world of the human psyche. Although my passion for expression through the visual arts took a back seat to my years of studies in becoming a psychotherapist, my particular creative lens continued to inform and influence everything I encountered.

Over the years, I discovered that it is through the art of painting that I am best able to communicate the bold visual imagery that has become the vehicle for my artistic expression.

Derived from my particular lens, all of my work transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary.
A link to my work as a psychotherapist, my art depicts the interior world of emotion and mood.

The mood that lies beneath the expression of my images is what defines ALL of my work.
