Location: United States
Born in Queens, New York, I was a bit of a sullen girl, reading, drawing, and Loving the frightening games kids play outside in the DARK .
Combine this with 13 years of parochial school and voila! An awesome imagination.
I attended some college and a bit of art school, traveled the country, and gave many pastimes and occupations a go before settling down with a great man and raising two “perfect sons.”
I taught art in the Florida public school system and, in my spare time, I painted.
Now, I paint and use my spare time for everything else. I have a studio in downtown Vero Beach, Florida and my paintings of Orange groves and Oceans reside in collections across the country, as well as Europe and South America.
These are my paintings of Oceans, Skies, Flowers, Trees and whatever strikes me. I live on the edge of the Atlantic, so I never run out of inspiration.
Yes, the ocean really is this color, sometimes.
