In addition to Lemon Street Gallery, her work can be seen at Northern Lights Gallery in Racine, WI.

I was born in California, and currently reside in Wisconsin. I am a artist who experiments with many different types of mediums and styles. I love to do abstracts because of the freedom of expression. Abstracts allow me to express a feeling or emotion. I prefer to work in oils because of the rich texture and deep colors of the paint, but also work in pastel to do figures. I find that the body is an interesting subject. I am very attracted to contrast and light. I feel that art is an expression of many things. I have spent my whole life working on my art. At first I tried to capture perfection and as time has gone on I have learned it is not perfection that I need to capture but the feel of my subject. Life is not perfect therefore the emotion of the subject is a better goal to achieve and what I pursue, I hope you enjoy my work.
