ARTIST STATEMENT
As my family can attest,
"happiness" to me is being surrounded by piles of
art projects! However, I couldn’t decide between
pursuing art or nursing, and nursing won out first.
Now being a retired RN, with our family raised, I
have the joy of returning to art.
I love the spontaneity of
watercolor, experimenting with collage and pushing
color to either a warm or cool intensity. Originally
from Albuquerque, New Mexico, I can’t help but bring
the warm, vibrant colors of the Southwest to most of
my work, but I am learning to express the cool,
misty shades of the Northwest where I now live. I
love the whimsical as much as the realist art forms,
and am especially intrigued by experimental
directions. My goal is to share with viewers the
laughter, serenity and surprises I find in
