My love of color comes from my grandmother and aunt
who both adored peach. The strong design sense is from my training as a graphic designer, and I traveled a lot as a child.
Now, the twin passions of color and travel have come together in my painting & books. By capturing the “happy colors” of the many places we visit, the paintings always have a sense of joy about them.
A sign in my studio reads, “You are here for the joy and delight of your soul”, an Amish saying about life on earth – or in one’s studio!
