After a wonderful life of raising kids and a forty year career in the private sector…..I am celebrating ‘retirement’ and the blessings that Laguna Woods provides us. Bravo–the opportunity to just be a creative child and try a little bit of everything. Painting, Ceramics, sculptural Jewelry and adventures in the Woodshop all beckon.

Painting for me is something of a spiritual experience. There are times when it is pure zen and the marks make themselves. Then there are the ‘other’ times – a most humbling reminder not to take ourselves too seriously. I started painting about ten years ago with a group of friends that were fun, supportive and dedicated to raising monies for Animal Samaritans. Therefore many of my paintings are of shelter animals in golf course surroundings to meet the demands of the Palm Desert market. What exciting experiences are next????
