About
Me:
I am an award winning visual artist working in my home studio in Dickerson,
Maryland where I live with my husband Ed, a photographer and web designer.
I have over 16 years of experience working with artists, and the public,
presenting art exhibitions. I have served for many years as President,
Treasurer and Show Chair of the League of Reston Artists and on the

Artists Statement:
I love color and thru the use of color, I hope to express an emotional
reaction to whatever the original catalyst was. Whether I am responding
to the music playing in my studio, my general mood at the moment, or
the sights, sounds and feel of the world around me, I strive to represent
the essence of my feelings on the canvas. I would say my abstract oil
paintings are really all about emotion.
