I am a second generation creative. It was for me, a hidden talent. I tried to write for years, but to no avail.

 

 It wasn't until my mother, a wonderful and talented painter, was in a nursing home, 2013, did i begin my journey into expressive, non representational art.  

 

 Once I started painting, i knew it was the most important thing I had ever done emotionally & professionally and must follow this with total immersion.

 

 After my mother passed in 2014 I opened a studio/gallery in Rocky Neck Art Colony, Gloucester.

​

 Being in the colony, surrounded by the sea and other artists, I started to develop two methods of painting.

 

 Influenced by ocean and cove right outside my door, I began painting singular, lonely, floating boats. It was a merging of my abstract roots and the plein air painters Rocky Neck Colony is known for.

​

 I also continued expanding into the abstract by adding encaustic, metal, glass and all types of mixed media. 

​

 I am in my 7th year, but it seems a lifetime. I continue to create, to expand 

​

 I do believe this is just a beginning...
