The majority of my acrylic paintings are inspired by Florida's tropical flowers, brilliant sunsets, and scenic coastlines.

I’ve always loved creating art. As a child I was always drawing on anything at hand. Travel inspires me more than anything else. After retirement, my late husband and I spent nine years living in an RV, traveling all over the U.S. and Mexico. Now Florida’s beaches and tropical plants and birds are frequent subjects in my paintings.

Glass is a magical medium with amazing properties, colors and uses. My work focuses on one-of-a kind organic decorative art that celebrates coastal living and the beautiful nature that surrounds us.

I seek to create vibrant paintings using the versatile medium of Pastel to portray the Beauty of the World around me as well as its many and diverse inhabitants. I am drawn to light and shadow and how the quality of the light affects the things it illuminates.

My intension is to create bold, colorful interpretations of the Florida landscape, amazing flowrs, and figures.

I started painting as a hobby after retiring from teaching in the public schools, but it has blossomed into something that I am very passionate about. My preferred medium is working with oils.
While developing my skills as an artist, I am open to painting many different subjects. I enjoy perusing antique and consignment shops to find a variety of objects to render in a still life set up.
I love to travel and have been greatly influenced by the art of the places I have visited from the Caribbean, Europe, Asia and Africa. I am also influenced by many of the impressionist painters, with lots of loose brushstrokes. I now have a home in Estero, Florida and enjoy painting the beautiful wildlife and flora here.
My hope is that the viewer will have a sense of the passion that I put into my painting, and walk away with seeing the beauty of the subject in a unique way.

Inspired by the beauty of God’s Creation, I paint to evoke emotion and connection through impressionistic landscapes, figures, and still life. Working primarily in acrylics, I aim to capture moments of quiet beauty with expressive color and texture. My work reflects a deep appreciation for nature, faith and the human spirit.

My passion for creating and visualizing art pieces started when I was very young living in Cuba. In March 2020, I moved back to Florida from Houston, Texas where I showed my work in galleries and juried shows around the Houston area. Before moving to Houston, I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Motion Picture Technology at the University of Central Florida. I was very lucky to have the opportunity to work for Disney Animation Studios in Orlando Florida where I fell in love with animation and special effects, the experience and knowledge that I acquired plus my degree permitted me to teach Computer Visual Effects at Full Sail Real World Education School in Orlando, Florida.
At present, I am dedicating my time to experimenting with different styles and mediums (watercolor, oil, acrylic, wood, pastels, color pencils, paper) creating works from ideas and inspiration collected from the past and always incorporating my experience into futures works.

My creative process is a combination of the relentless pursuit of technical skill, without losing the "vibe" or feeling of a certain scene. The trick is to balance technique, value and color with the emotions and childlike wonder I feel in the presence of various situations. Sandhill Cranes are incredible to see just wandering around my backyard, wind tearing through sails on a beam reach makes me giddy, even just looking up into the ever changing sky is inspirational. Being cognizant of the emotions felt in a situation and pitting them against the technicalities of a color wheel or value chart is a pleasant tension, a yin/yang mental tightrope walk that breeds its own forward momentum.

I have been a full time artist since 2014. I studied Watercolor & Mixed Media Collage in California and ever since then, I have never looked back. Im blessed to have a home studio and I love creating on a daily basis. I'm in love with bold, bright colors and the brighter the better for me. Creating daily is a must for me. I have to say.. Art is my life. My life is Art.

My work is the result of exploration. I am a process painter and enjoy using acrylics to get many different layers quickly. The fun comes with unexpected results, and I like that one has to puzzle the images out. Using a random application of gesso on a blank surface, causes interesting shapes and unexpected textures, creating a sense of history.

I love glass. So many fusible gorgeous colors...opaque, transparent, iridized, textured. Gets my creative juices flowing. Making pretty things, home accents, whimsical figures. So much fun. What a blast!
