It is no secret, I have always loved the fragrance and color of fresh cut flowers. There is something about the sight of a bouquet of flowers that seems to melt cares away. Food items, a loaf of bread, cheese and fruit are beautiful to me.

I was born in Hollywood, California. As a young child, I was surrounded by creativity. My dear father was an award-winning television film editor. Two aunts were accomplished painters. I grew up in a home full of love and was taught to have an appreciation for the simple things in life. I was totally surrounded by beauty. Much of my time as a child was spent with my mother, father and younger brother at the home of my favorite aunt and uncle. It was on nature walks with my uncle that I first developed my special affinity for flowers. Watching my aunt prepare artistic meals gave me an appreciation for the beauty of food.

I attended San Francisco State College during the height of the Hippie Movement in the late 1960’s. It exposed me to many creative, free spirited, talented people. I was drawn to these people, never realizing that I had any talent of my own.

I AM A SELF-TAUGHT ARTIST.
