Three decades ago, after graduating from UCONN with a degree in Landscape Design, I began oil painting, it's been a colorful journey!
I love painting landscapes, Cows, Animals, especially farm animals, and Pet portraits, did I say Cows?
When I began painting En Plein Air as a student of the late Beth Ellis I was hooked. We painted in a all kinds of weather in snow in South Glastonbury and Cape Cod, and heat waves on the coast of Maine. I love Plein air and the spontaneity required to capture the scene before the light changes OR the Cow moves!
My trip to Ireland was a true inspiration. I painted many sheep, border collies, horses, castles all while listening to toe taping and soulful Irish and Celtic music.
I love the Painting Courses I've taken over the years! I have exhibited at the famed New Britain Museum of American Art. My paintings have been featured in Ink Magazine, Connecticut Farm and Food Magazine. Connecticut Dog Magazine reviewed my book ~ Luna a Tribute (available on Amazon) ~ written and illustrated by Moi!
I have received numerous awards including a recent Plein Air Award of Merit from the Lyme Art Association. I show and sell in Connecticut Galleries. Recently I've completed pet portraits of Jack the Corgi, Dobi ~ Gabby and Dad and Cooper the Terrier.
