About the Artist
I began painting as a child. In difficult times, my painting has been a lifeline for me, pulling me forward with my desire to see the next painting, and always with the expansive potential to capture my emotional life.
I now live in Mill Valley — My studio overlooks my wild-blooming garden. I sit at my big art table, head down, listening to music, lose myself in thought, and paint.

Artist Statement
My paintings are a built emotional refraction of space — the space that is the shadowed weight that holds an object to a surface, the space that is the sea, the air, the trees, the space in-between my breaths, the space in-between my brushstrokes — all of which overflow with emotion. None of my world is bare bones.
My paintings become an external product of an internal process — my explanation of life.
