Sintra from Above From the Portugal Collection

Art has been in my life since childhood however it got pushed to the side while I began a career in a non-art related position in the pharmaceutical industry. After retirement I decided to return to art and it was a most wonderful decision. During 2001 I took my first watercolor class in Bermuda with Bryan Atyeo, a wonderful Canadian artist and teacher. That was enough to spur my interest and suddenly I was hooked. Since then I have taken many classes with well known instructors including, but not limited to; Toni Chaplin, Frank Webb, Serge Hollerbach, Skip Lawrence, Don Andrews, Judi Betts, Alvaro Castagnet and Pat Dews. I truly admire the California watercolor artists of the past; Rex Brandt, George Post and Phil Paradise to mention a few and their paintings have added to my enthusiasm and inspiration. Currently watercolor is my primary medium of expression. 
Since 2001 I have exhibited in many local and statewide shows, winning numerous awards  and many of my original paintings are in private collections.
I belong to several Art Associations and have served as Treasurer of the Art Association in Roxbury for the past five years.
