Savor the Beauty Around Us

Life moves fast, but nature urges us to slow down. My landscapes with glowing light and vivid color, invite you to pause, take a deep breath, and savor the moment. They are expressions of gratitude for fleeting beauty. In each scene, a quiet spiritual presence reminds us that we belong to something greater than ourselves.

 Pastel is my primary medium and I love its immediacy, vibrant color, and ability to capture glowing light. I have been working with pastels for more than 30 years. Favorite places of inspiration include Maryland’s Eastern Shore, the New Jersey Shore, the Brandywine River Valley, Hudson Valley, New York, and Maine or anyplace that can be seen from my kayak or while hiking.

 I raised three amazing humans, am nuts about my grandkids and maintain good relationships with all my nine siblings. My husband of 42 years is still my best friend. I have a studio at Aston Mills Arts in Aston, PA where I paint and am open by appointment throughout the year.
