I paint exclusively in soft pastel. It is a wonderful medium for conveying light, color, shape, and their interplay to create mood. I find painting landscapes especially satisfying as I represent the essence of the view without all the detail. Skies, water, and rugged coastlines can range from dramatic to ethereal. Each presents its unique challenge and I receive a great sense of accomplishment when I complete my artwork.

​

As a child I watched my artist mother paint. Now, after a career in science and technology, I find joy in the creative process and the opportunity to share my work. I am a Signature member of the Maryland Pastel Society and a member of the Rockville Art League, Montgomery Art Association, and Friends of the Yellow Barn Gallery. I serve on the Board of Directors for the Maryland Pastel Society and the Rockville Art League, manage a yearly exhibition for the Montgomery Art Association, and am a member of Gallery 209 at Artists & Makers Studios in Rockville, MD.

 

I have exhibited work in juried and non-juried shows across the region and have received a number of awards.
