I am thrilled to be the newest studio on tour at the The Camelback Studio Tour and Art Sale!

The art tour has become a popular annual event that invites art enthusiasts into the home studios of renowned local artists to view and purchase one-of-a-kind works across a wide range of mediums. The Camelback Studio Tour and Art Sale includes multiple home studios across several Phoenix and Scottsdale neighborhoods — including four newly added studio stops.

I am bursting with excitement as I prepare for my upcoming art show at the Walter Art Gallery on September 15th. This event marks a significant milestone in my artistic journey, and I am thrilled to unveil my latest collection of abstract paintings. Each piece in this collection reflects a personal voyage of self-discovery and growth, expressed through vibrant colors, captivating textures, and fluid movement. I invite you to join me at the opening reception on September 15th at the Walter Art Gallery in Scottsdale, AZ.

Attention art enthusiasts and nature lovers! I am thrilled to share some exciting news with you all. I am honored to be part of the upcoming group juried exhibition and sale, "Inspired: Arizona Artists Celebrate the Natural World," presented by the Arizona Center for Nature Conservation (ACNC)/Phoenix Zoo's Art on the Wild Side exhibit program. This unique art show, hosted at the Phoenix Zoo, promises to be a captivating celebration of art, inspiration, and conservation. I invite you to mark your calendars for the opening day on Friday, September 8th, as this is an event you won't want to miss!

I am so happy to share this labor of love I worked on for a few months during the holidays. My husband's Aunt Mary Ellen mailed him this photo of his grandfather and some friends at Clarkson University in 1937. The minute I saw the photo, I knew it had to become a painting.

This is the final artwork in my series of paintings that explore the loneliness and separation of our overly connected society. The grid pattern represents the digital world and how it infiltrates every aspect of modern life.

The very first in my Pixelated Series paintings, "Is There A Road Map?" has been accepted into the AZ Watercolor Association Spring Show. The show will hang at the Shemer Art Center from April 15th through May 21st.

The color blue is often associated with the feeling of sadness. It can also be used to represent calmness and tranquility. Blue is associated with peace and spiritual connotations in certain cultures.

“It’s all in your head”.

What a loaded phrase. Usually this is thrown at someone who is overreacting, imagining the worst, or creating drama where there isn’t any. But as I look at this new painting, I thought of this phrase in a new way.

I’m so grateful to have spent another wonderful week in the Pacific Northwest. Each time I experience this area, I fall more in love with this special part of the country. The landscape outside changes every few minutes.

Some of you have asked what supplies I bring when traveling. Here are my favorites:

As you all know, I LOVE travel! Exploring new cities and new places is one of the greatest joys in my life. People often ask me if I paint when traveling and the answer is usually no.

Last year I was so thrilled to attend a very special art workshop with an amazing group of artists on Whidbey Island, Washington, just outside of Seattle. Whidbey Island forms the northern boundary of Puget Sound.
