Artist Statement:
As an experimental painter, I treat every painting as something of a surprise, as I know not where the paint will lead me.  I like Golden Fluid Acrylics, crayons, pastels, and anything that will help me along the way...My purpose is to enjoy and to hope that the viewer will join me.

Education:
Miss Porters School, Farmington, Connecticut
