I love the transparency and fluidness of watercolor and the discovery of patterns, shapes and colors. I paint primarily botanical watercolors, but also work in graphite and pen and ink. I have always been drawn to detail and enjoy the subtleties in color, differences and similarities in shape, and variation in line. I try to capture the beauty and grace that are inherent in plants and nature while giving each subject its own particular identity.
I majored in art and went on to receive a PhD in Communicate Disorders/Learning Disabilities. I have taught in public and private schools and University settings. Throughout my professional career I have enjoyed and used my art background. I am a member in the American Society of Botanical Artists, the North Shore Art Leagues (Winnetka, IL), the Chicago Art Institute, and the Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee, WI.
