About the artist

I am a transplant from New Hampshire who has called Orcas Island my home since 1998.

Art has always been a part of my life thanks to the support of my family and teachers. I hold a Master’s in Fine Arts from The George Washington University in DC.

My latest works have evolved from my love of decorative papers.  Using them as my “pallet” I make colorful Dècoupage creations. These original collages have the 3D feel of quilting or mosaic and are lacquered for resilience, producing rich colors and textures. Giclée prints of these originals are available for purchase.

As a point of interest, my artistic endeavors were interrupted for a few years while I pursued a career in rowing.  In 1992 I was honored to compete for the United States Rowing Team as bow seat in the Women’s Eight (8+) event at the Barcelona, Spain Olympics. 

I am still active on the water, but I now enjoy the beauty of sailboat racing in the San Juan Islands.
