Art has always been at the heart of my life. From ballet and dance to music, fashion, interior design, and gardening, creative expression has been my natural language. I was blessed with the influence of my mother, who was an oil painter and art teacher, as well as growing up in the beautiful landscapes of "Colorful Colorado". 

As a licensed mental health counselor, I’ve spent about 20 years integrating the creative arts into therapy, helping others heal through art therapy. My background includes a Bachelors in Art from Western Colorado University and as well as a Masters in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver. I have a great collection of art therapy examples to show someday.

My current work centers on capturing the colorful world of Palm Beach through the use of acrylics, watercolor, and glazing techniques, typically painted on large canvases.  You might find me by the beach, capturing a fountain in a beautiful garden, or sketching up the Via's of Worth Avenue. My sketchbook is never far from reach, capturing moments and impressions that often evolve into finished works.
