The basic  form and structure of the acrylic paintings and the needlepoint designs come through study, exploration, critiques, looking at wonderful artists and a degree in Art from Skidmore College.

The color, space and subject matter comes from a joy of life and the pleasure being of a certain age and of having time to now experiment. Since retiring after many years as a serious Social Worker, I have returned to my first love of art which has given me the opportunity to use my life experiences to celebrate the fruits of my labor both from my professional work and from my personal journey.

I hope you will enjoy the acrylic paintings and the needlepoint designs that have sprung to life from objects found through the pleasure of looking.
