A love of design is the essence of what influences me to explore art through painting and mixed media. My background in graphic design impacts my artwork with bright color, pattern and design delivering movement and energy within a piece.
I work from my home studio in Shelton, CT, exploring new approaches interpreting a love of nature, color, pattern and form, working with acrylics, fabric and other textural materials. My paintings are in private collections and have been shown in solo, juried and group exhibitions:
