I worked as an award winning art director and commerical illustrator for over 20 years, before becoming a full time fine arts painter. Today I split my time between commission portraits and gallery painting. My work is exhibited in juried exhibitions and galleries nationally. I am very proud to be the 2005 West Coast Pastel Society’s Best of Show winner for a pastel portrait that was shown in their International Exhibition. Other honors I have received include Best of Show for the 2003 Women Artists of the West Show, 2nd Place for the 2004 Pastel Society of Florida, Merit Award at the 2004 West Coast Pastel Society, as well as The Art Directors Club, Merit Award, and the California Arts Show, Award of Excellence for my commercial work. My work is collected by numerous private patrons, as well as St. Mary’s College in Moraga, California.
