I was born in Chicago Ill in 1946 the youngest of two children. I have an older brother.

I started oil painting at the age of 12 in a small town in southern New Jersey.

In 1969 I graduated from Hussian School of Art in Philadelphia, PA. That same year I married Steve; we have two sons.

In 1976 I illustrated a book for the National Bicentennial Celebration in the city of Philadelphia.

Keeping busy I designed and constructed holiday interiors for the Rouse Corporation malls in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, illustrated children’s school text books, and worked with seniors in an art program.

I am a snowbird now traveling between Maine and Florida donating my time and effort to promote the arts.
