About

europe-2019-0535.jpg

I am a practicing artist located in Cary, North Carolina. My works are created using watercolors, acrylic paints graphite, and alcohol markers.

​

My favorite subjects include historic architecture and pet portraits. I am a crazy cat lady at heart and share my love of animals with many who wish to demonstrate that love with a painting to preserve a moment. I also enjoy figure drawing, and attend a few area live model sessions every month. 

​

My Rutgers BFA concentration in drawing and printmaking served me well in my 15-year career as a clothing designer in New York City before moving my family to Cary, NC in 1998.

​

My painting journey began in 2014 after a vow made with a friend that the coming year would be when we got back to our artist's roots. Eight years later, I sell and exhibit my work and am never turning back!

​

During 2020 I embraced creating outside ("en plein air") as a way to connect with nature, and frankly get out of my house! Over the past three years, I started creating with watercolors and alcohol markers because they are not messy and easy to take with me in a small backpack. I also love the bright colors. You can see some of these under my "places" tab in the navigation bar.

​

In 2022 I began appearing at some Cary-based pop-up markets. This is a great way to meet me and see my work in person. I frequently have a pop-up tent at the Cary Downtown Farmers Market which takes place on Saturdays from 8am-noon. I also pop-up at the Art-N-Soul Market at Waverly Place, and the Downtown Cary Food & Flea on second Sundays.
