I have always liked to draw, but only dabbled until I was pregnant with my third child in 2001. My focus has been on portraiture, recently have I broadened my range to still life and florals. I have been quite inspired by Daily Painters such as Carol Marine, Emma Lefebvre and Kat Corrigan. I am very grateful to have been able to study with some of the finest teachers in the tri-state area; Edmond Rochat, Mackenzie Swenson, Gregory Mortenson and Daniel Greene. I have also taken workshops in a variety of mediums and genres. I teach privately in Chatham, NJ and at the Chatham Senior Center.
