While born and raised in Tenafly, New Jersey; California has been home my entire adult life.  I have enjoyed Arts and Crafts from a very young age; studied Fine Art in college, including classes in Paris; but set my love of art aside as I followed a business career at IBM and raised a family of four children with my husband, Matt.  Over the last several years, I have reconnected with my artistic side and am enjoying photography, drawing and painting, in particular, watercolor painting and mixed media paper collage.

I am inspired by the people and world around me which I reflect in my art.  I especially love painting animals.
