Figurative presence in an old
world atmosphere. I feel what
makes one feel art, is the
power & strength of color.
Layer upon layer of bold
color. Each becoming evident
through the process of
elimination of the layers,
leaving behind the suggestion
of that color having been
there. ...

| Your Personal Biography |
At age 7 years I knew I would be an artist. Born into an artistically gifted family, I naturally followed the path of my father, a self-taught custom furniture finisher. I was privileged to grow up watching him create interior works for legendary celebrities such as Fred Astair, Rod Stewart, Lucille Ball and Sunny & Cher. At the age of 12 I discovered fashion design and added that to my list of talents. I attended The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles while working as an apprentice under my father. In addition to honing my craft working in the family business, I spent the majority of my young adult years pursuing various forms of art with passion and ingenuity. Today I specialize in fine art, faux finishes, custom furniture finishes, couture fashion design, hand-painted murals, and antique reproduction(17th Century), wearable art and free-form knits. I consider the work of my hands a gift from God and gather influences from cultures all over the world. I enjoy sharing the blessings of my artwork with others others and being Mom to Chavalier(22) and Hemmingway (7). |
