I began in the mid-1970s doing watercolor paintings of landscapes. I love people, so it was not long before I began doing portraits in watercolor also. In the mid-1980s, I moved to Hawaii with my husband Jim, and there started painting in the bright colors I saw in my subjects every day. This continued when I focused more on oil impressionist painting as I moved to the Mendocino Coast in 1992. I moved around Northern California as my husband relocated for his work, but he retired in 2016 and we returned to the Mendocino Coast, which we love. I presently show in the Highlight Gallery in Mendocino.
