Candy Store #2 Painting

I loved laying in the grass looking at clouds as a kid. Those memories and feelings still fill my imagination. Shapes in nature spark my creativity. My artwork is about reclaiming that sense of wonder from looking at nature. Searching for that sensation of aliveness. All the while working from my intuition for authenticity. Ultimately my visual language of shapes, marks and lines bring forth (expresses a part of my life’s journey) the feelings we all share of joy, beauty, curiosity, and our fundamental humanness. At age 40 years old, I decided to dedicate both my professional and personal life to the art world. I received a Masters in Museum Administration, worked as a museum educator for the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and began learning how to paint. She has studied at the California College of Arts and with numerous painting teachers. Originally from New Jersey, I now live and work in my home studio in the East Bay Hills of the San Francisco Bay Area. A founder the Piedmont Center for the Arts, Corvin, I also enjoy encouraging emerging artists as administrator of an annual juried art show now in its eighth year.
