I was a graphic designer for many years and enjoyed designing publications and working with my clients. Taking a break to be home with our children, I shifted my creative energy back to making art. I studied printmaking, acrylic painting and watercolor at the Danforth Art School and I absolutely fell in love with the freedom and spontaneity of watercolor! Now years after taking classes at the Danforth, I work as the Visitor Services Coordinator at the Danforth Art Museum in Framingham where I enjoy being surrounded by inspiring art and artists.
I love being active outdoors, reading, and I am game to do almost anything with family and friends.
My Art Community

My painting and critique group, the Watercolor Connection is currently based in Natick, however individuals are from all over the Metrowest Boston area. The fourteen artists have a wide variety of styles and approaches to their painting, and collectively we have won numerous awards.
