As a young girl, I loved to draw animals and faces. I was inspired by my mother who worked as a colorist for portrait studios. When my sister and I were young, my mother would work at home and I would often watch her paint with oils. I became very interested in oil painting , but not until I was a young women.

I attended classes in Quincy and on the South Shore. I studied with some talented teachers. However, I have done a lot of painting on my own. I have enjoyed painting a variety of subject matter from figures sunbathing at the beach, street scenes with figures, lobster and fishing boats in the harbor, still life and animals.

I invite you to view my Prints Page where you can enjoy all the artwork that my website has to offer. If you find a piece you like, please visit my On-Line Store to purchase these signed limited edition prints for your own.

Please visit my page often as I continually update my prints and post different events that I will participate in from the Quincy area and on the South Shore.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
