Her landscapes, cityscapes and still lifes are studies in color, light and texture. Her portraits of iconic women explore cultural, political and gender issues. Originally from New York, she studied with noted realist painter Jerome Witkin and colorist Laurie Zagon at Syracuse University, and continues to take classes and workshops in the United States and Europe. Her work is in private collections throughout California and was selected to represent District 1 in the California State Senate Contemporary Art Collection.”
