""Go big or go home"" Painting

I lived and worked as a professional artist in Southern California four decades and now Dallas, Texas. Both states offer amazing inspiration grounded in the diverse landscapes and the colorful residents sharing their warmth and charm. My creative endeavors have primarily focused on creating original works for collectors and design projects around the world. My work is displayed in private collections and residences, public settings including large hotels, restaurants and bistros from California to Texas, and Bahrain to Beijing. As a self taught artist, having inherited my creativity from my professional art director father, my work is in flux as I continually explore new media and technques. I am not tethered to one set style nor medium; I spontaneously took up oils in 2014 for a rush client project (due & completed in 36 hours) and was immediately hooked! The magic of oils is their vibrant pigments, vital versatility, and the quixotic rush of capturing one's vision on canvas thus it happens to be my favorite method of translating my concepts to share with others. My colorful journey continues and eventually, may my epitaph read: She came, She saw, She created.
