About

I am a self-taught, professional abstract artist, photographer and poet.

My work is internationally known and is on public display in New York City hospitals,

doctors offices, community galleries, offices and online at various websites.

My art is also in homes from California to New York State. I am an ecologically aware disabled veteran.

Recycled materials are almost exclusively used to make my art.

I am passionate about bringing people together and empowering them to utilize their creativity.

Artists that inspire me include Frida Kahlo, Hilma af Klint, Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko.

Special thanks to my talented record producer husband for his encouragement, creative input and graphics design.
