I see the world aesthetically, spiritually & humorously moment to moment. This has been a way of life since I began making art from a very young age. I received my B.A. in art from Regis College, and studied graphic design, painting and printmaking at several institutions. I am a Gallery Artist at the Plymouth Guild and the Scituate Art Association. I have exhibited in area juried shows. Recently I won 3rd prize in printmaking at the upcoming South Shore Art Center’s Annual Festival.

Printmaking has been the artistic answer for which I have been searching - an answer found in the last few years coincidentally with moving by the Herring River and tidal marsh with vistas and wildlife that are ever changing. Printmaking has integrated my graphic, photography and painting skills.  It is an exciting medium to express my love of nature’s colors, textures and changing moods of light. Some of my plates are made with branches and found treasures that appear on my path. In addition to the brain challenge of planning the images in reverse, there is also the thrill of the “aha!” moment that often happens from pulling a print to see unexpected results. My painterly monoprints are influenced by hundreds of my references that digital Photography has made possible. Some of my prints have areas designed to have passages from scripture as well as my own verse added in calligraphy. Calligraphy is an ongoing passion and study. I have studied for thirty years under many nationally and internationally renowned calligraphers. There are still times that my response to an experience needs to be done as a creamy acrylic or juicy watercolor Painting.

I find joy in interpreting the beauty and light of nature. I leave portraying angst and darkness to other artists. Lately I have pondered the power of the “P” in my life – pencils, pens, paints, pigments, photographs, prints…and powering it all – PRAYER.
