Artist’s Biography

It is the beauty in Nature that inspires me most, especially the play of light and color on objects, whether landscape or still life.

 I am primarily a painter in oils, but also work in water media, pastels, and printmaking. I have two degrees, a BFA and a BAE, from Ohio State University. I have also done graduate work, and have taken additional classes and workshops in such topics as experimental water media painting, photography and dark room techniques, the art of hand made books, and landscape painting. I have been a member of the Columbus Art League, Artreach of Columbus, the OEA, the NEA, and the NAEA.  I am now a member of the Lancaster Art Guild, the Ohio Plein Air Society (OPAS), and am a founding member of the Monarch Gallery in Lancaster, Ohio. I have been in a number of group shows and one woman shows which include:

1. The Columbus Art League Fall show, 1984
2. A One Woman Show at Mickey’s Deli in Lancaster, Ohio, 1986
3. The Columbus Art League “Six for Two” show, 1987
4. The “Artreach Every Member Show” in the Short North, 1988
5. “Drawing Ohio” show at the Chidlaw Gallery, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1990.
6. “Cross-Currents, Artists Who Teach”  - Garrett Gallery, Lancaster, OH, 1997.
7. “Gifts From the Earth” National Fine Art and Craft Competition at the Fitton Center for Creative Arts, Hamilton, Ohio, 2003

I have received the Best Show of the Year Award from the Fairfield County Arts Council in 1986. I have also been a Jennings Scholar in 1984.  My art work is in several private collections in the eastern United States .
