A self taught artist and an avid nature lover with a passion for painting and photography. I have been painting as a hobby for many years and love using various media including oil, acrylic and oil pastels. California's colorful landscapes from the water’s edge to mountaintops are a constant source of my artistic inspiration.

Being a busy mom and a corporate professional, doesn't leave me much time to do plein air paintings. So I started spending a lot of time behind the camera for taking my own reference shots. Now I seem to be spending more time taking photos than painting ;-).
