I have had a passion for art and design all of my life. As a child, I often drew pictures and made finger paintings. I displayed a certain level of talent at an early age and, while in kindergarten, had a painting selected at school for display at a city wide exhibition. I went on to study Art at Hunter College in New York, where I pursued many aspects of visual arts, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, and photography. Although I ended up following a career in the financial services industry, I continued to pursue my artistic interests as a hobby, often taking pictures and using them as the basis for my paintings.

After 30 years of steady employment in the financial services industry, I was laid off twice in two years. It seemed that the universe was trying to tell me something. It was at this point, with both support and encouragement from my husband, that I made the decision to follow my passion, making painting my life's work, and Blossom's Landing was born.

I am intrigued by light and the intensity of color and how both can influence our moods and perceptions. I love to paint reflections in water and sunsets and city buildings lit up against the night sky. For me, there is rhythm in cloud formations, in certain architectural elements, and in the vibrancy of color and patterns of light. There is spirituality in nature,

I have always been challenged when asked to describe my painting style in one word and have often been told by others that my work is both stylized and unique. I believe that I am constantly learning and evolving; that I am now and will always be a work in progress, as I strive to produce work that highlights the majesty of nature and the dynamics of light and color in our lives.

New pieces are added to my shop periodically, so be sure to visit regularly to see my newest pieces.

I am excited to have opened my first retail shop with Etsy.com. I look forward to communication with and feedback from other shop owners and customers.
