"I particularly enjoy plein air painting. Light on the
landscape changes by time of day, and with clouds and weather. It
creates innumerable possibilities of color harmonies and shapes of light
and dark with a significant challenge to see and keep focus on a composition.
I search for positive emotions, optimism and excitement during
the painting process. Painting is an artistic experience. An
experience I strive to put on paper or canvas for myself and others to
relive with the viewing."
Her prices range from $450 - $4000.
