Bio

After a 25 year hiatus from painting, filled with children, career and living in the Midwest I have recently reunited with my first love. 

As a young artist, art was my closest intimate, an emotional connection and my nourishment. In my youth, I was passionate about creating representational portraits and landscapes. This was an important and necessary foundation before maturing into the process of abstraction. Using my professional training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and art therapy I have journeyed into the realm of abstract painting. Freud once said, “From error to error, one discovers the entire truth”. 

I strive to make mistakes and take risks in my art. My view of the world and therefore my art is dramatically different now. The simplification of shape, texture and form in concert with symbolism and color reflects my signature in photography and painting.
