About the Artist

If you could do one thing all of the time, what would it be? I guess what I'm asking is...what is your passion? Mine is to paint.  I love color.        

                                      
I love the ocean.  I love the light and how it flickers on the water.  I love the colors that are reflected in the water. I love to paint water.

                                    
I love to do portraits for people.  The compliments I get are rewarding.        

I have been teaching for 20 years.  I now teach 6th-8th graders in Cohasset Middle/High School.  I love teaching too.  My students are wonderful!  In addition to teaching and being a mom, I find it challenging to find the time to paint let alone look into getting my work into galleries.  Some day there will be more time!
