As an Abstract Expressionist, I concentrate on the actions involved in creating artworks rather than trying to produce images that people could recognize, I'm searching for a underlying unity that takes into account the material, a method and a fairly clear amount of knowledge. Form,space and content and especially the qualities of color and light are part of the dance we call "Action Painting". When referring to my sources, I consider myself a landscape painter. I have been an artist for three decades, intriguing audiences across the country and Europe with my paintings. I am involved with NAWA, FL.and NY, Women in the Visual Arts, Fl., Palm Beach Watermedia Society. I am formally from New York. I have had my works reviewed in the New York Times, ArtSpeak, and Newsday. My work is represented in many permanent collections.

This will give you further information on my background.
Is Acrylic. Using bold color and bright lights paired with brushstrokes that evoke a strong sense of movement and energy.
Size is 36"x 36" on canvas.
This is a Mixed Media, Acrylic painting that started out with my methods. My background is soft and then my center has vibrant blues and other bold colors that capture the viewer's eye. The calligraphy circles the colors, creating new energy that takes you to views of bold brushstrokes and movement.
Painting is on canvas, 48"H x 36"W
The magic of a sunset! Captures color and forms that only an artist can create a story to tell, of movement, energy and brushstrokes. Western Sunset is on paper and is acrylic and pastel. 40"H x 30"W. The pastel strikes over the acrylic creating a soft and imaginative painting.
In this acrylic painting 36"H x 36"W on canvas, I've started with images of a landscape that evolves into dark and light sources. They have created a field of gold. It is very hard to name a painting when your an Abstract Impressionist. It is not to the very end of my journey that I can come to this decision.
Painting is acrylic on canvas, 36"H x 36"W. In this painting, I have created a more solid background with brushstrokes that are forcing an energy to create a whip view and calligraphy that centers the focus to the middle. The viewer can then feel the force of vibrant, bold brushstrokes and movement.
In this acrylic painting, I create a movement of energy that circles bold colors and brushstrokes. Hoping this evokes into an imaginative creation that invites interpretation from the viewer. Size: 40"H x 30"W
Updating my portfolio to 2023- 2024 work. Were I have been experimenting with new creative and intuitive paintings
This painting is a new subject matter and mixed media; ink, pastel pencils are incorporated to create a feeling of floating space.
The skies are awaken in soft pastel colors, clouds float around the colors created by water and rain in Florida
A landscape scene of Arcadia Park, rock formation and emerging blue waters.
Creating a floral in abstraction is not so easy, however for me it is a distraction from reality to create this next work I set a visual in my mine and drew and outlined how I would go about this...as you can see it is successful.
A painting that is more linear, but shares in its abstration form, color and energy.
