Our eyes and mind generally process millions of hues, tones, tints, and shades
everyday, as visual information. In my artwork, I also process this information
emotionally and sensually. I try to give the viewer a sense of place to remind them of somewhere they have been or would like to go.
Light, shadow and texture are used to give a third dimension and depth in
many of my paintings. Other times, I flatten out the planes, and shape and textures become more important. Whether imbuing a portrait with the soul of the person or the harmony and beauty of the scene, I am passionate in my quest for excellence in my painting and teaching.

After 25 years working as an interior designer, I discovered that I had a flair for another artistic expression - painting. I started working in pastels more than 10 years ago and eventually added watercolor, oils and acrylics to my repertoire. At my last interview with Naperville SUN, I answered "5 Questions" related to my view on art.
