She paints in watercolor, acrylic, and mixed media as well as making numerous journals with ink and watercolor. She earned a BFA from San Jose State University, a masters from the University of Victoria, and taught high school art and art history for many years. Her home studio is in the hills outside of Willits and she is a member of the Artists’ Co-op of Mendocino. Her inspiration comes from a love of Nature, a delight in light and color, changing seasons and living things.
