Bio

A self taught artist who lives with my husband and three children in NJ. It all started with crayons and a blank white wall ….then I grew up. My art goes through phases, I may work with pen and ink for a few months then switch to bright acrylics. My latest project involves tearing tiny pieces of paper from National Geographic and making American Flag Art. When I get inspired by a poem, I use calligraphy to recreate it as beautifully as it sounds. My ideas come from what surrounds me in nature. The swirls of raindrops in a lake, a vibrant sky, textures of bark, smells of wild flowers and the feel of grass on bare feet. If I’m not creating artwork, I'm on a hike thinking about a new groovy project. Now my youngest doodles on walls with permanent marker. It’s time to get the crayons back out.
