My Bio
|
My paintings have been featured in The La Times, the John Wayne Airport, exhibited throughout Southern California galleries and corporate collections.
For as long as I can remember art has been my passion. As a kid I remember staying inside to drawing instead of going outside to play. I grew up in Southern California and was known in school as “The kid that could draw”. I studied art and design at Cal State Fullerton then, worked for an advertising agency always painting on the side. Then I started my own design firm and was awarded fortune 500 corporate accounts, I still painted often but my heart wasn't in the corporate world. So I started painting full time, studying with master painters Corinne Hartley and Jove Wang. I took a piece of what I learned from each, arriving at my own signature style. For the past 15 years I've lived in Huntington Beach, California with my husband, 11 year old son and French bull dog, painting daily in my studio. I love florals, butterflies and landscapes and paint in an abstract, realism style, improvising from reality. I create a celebration of nature with bold brush strokes and electric color. My intention is to bring color, joy and happiness into peoples lives :) |
