A LITTLE ABOUT ME

I have always been curious about what a life can hold.

I spent 45 years as a psychologist, listening closely to people and the ways we change.

At 75, I began painting. Oil gave me another way to follow a memory, a color, or a place I could only imagine.

Come a little further into my story

BEYOND MY STUDIO

I want to share
this work with you.

I make these paintings because I love making them. I also want them to leave my studio, meet people, and find their own place in the world.

See my paintings

With my paintings, ready to share the work

IN THE MAKING

I like seeing where
the color leads me.

Painting gives me room to be surprised. I can begin with a landscape, then let memory and imagination take their part.

A THOUGHT I WANT TO SHARE

“The opportunity is there
to change your mind.
You can.”

I began painting at 75. I hope my story gives you room to try something that has been calling you.

A little color to carry with you

LIVE WITH THE WORK

I hope my art finds
a place with you.

If a painting stays with you, I would love for you to find a way to live with it or share it.

An original for your wall, a print for a favorite corner, a card for someone you love.

FROM ME TO YOU

I would love to know
what stayed with you.

Maybe you found a painting you keep returning to. Maybe you want to talk about showing my work. Either way, I would be glad to hear from you.
