In 2013 after an introductory plein air outing with an amazing artist Charles Browning, I began painting in oils, which I had only done in college a tiny bit. I quickly learned that plein air painting was now my new passion. Weekly paint outs with the Peace Valley Plein Air Painters in Bucks County PA was what helped me begin to develop the observation skills needed to depict a scene on canvas. I took over the task as the coordinator for the group which also helped me to meet other artists, and learn about the art scene in my geographic area.

 

I have learned so much in these last several years yet I am certain that I'll always be a student of art. I have many favorite influences, both living and beyond, and I'm discovering more every day in this vast world of representational art. ​

​

Since retiring from a life long career as a costume designer for dance and theatre, I've been painting and traveling as much as possible, and taking workshops and classes. I have been happy to teach beginner plein air classes, and look forward to my next project unfolding.
