"My love affair with beauty began in my childhood in NYC where I spent many days noticing the array of colors, patterns and textures of the world around me. I would feel the excitment and energy of the city and explore the happenings of nature in the woods of Inwood where I grew up. It was a short walk to the Cloisters and a train ride away to visit some of the finest museums in the world. It wasn't until many years later that I discovered the art within me.

Presently I am a kindergarten teacher in Windsor,Connecticut and I delight in my work with young children. I have been painting for seven years and I am fortunate to have a studio in my home where I can create and explore with watercolor and acrylic paints. My teachers include Debi Pendall, Linda Percoski and Lucianna Heinemann. I am thankful for their encouraging ways and unique styles as I awaken to my own creative style."
