My artwork is a reflection of my love for life, people, events, and places. Color, pattern, and emotion unite my canvases. The paintings are acrylic on canvas. Even though I am a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design in Painting, I have always had my own vision and sense of composition.  Over the years I have won many awards and have had many solo and group exhibits. I am a mother, a grandmother, and I worked outside the home in jobs not art related.   I continue to produce new work and strive to make a connection with the people who view my artwork.
