Art has always been a part of my life, from my youthful days of making candles in Berkeley to creating three gift gallery stores in Northern California. La Galleria in the Truckee/Lake Tahoe area was my signature gallery and successful for over thirty years. I traveled the world importing, especially designing jewelry and other merchandise in Bali, Guatemala and mainland Mexico. 

 

Nature and animals have also been a passion of mine, whether riding horses as a young girl, to having a ranch in the green hills of Sonoma County to now enjoying coastal living in Baja, Mexico. For the last few years I have returned to painting using various techniques of pour painting and textured mixed media. Recent travels to the artistic center of San Miguel de Allende have led to more experimentation with color, texture and abstract design. Enjoy my newest gallery, here online! Thanks for visiting.
