“Art creates a profound connection between the artist & the audience. Through that connection, both can heal.” - Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being   

I’ve lived in Wimberley and San Marcos for most of my life. Currently, my husband and I live in the historic district of SMTX and absolutely love the community vibe here.  I’m drawn to the history of these old houses, and love riding my bike to teach yoga, or to swim in the San Marcos River. I’ve also been a Realtor since the 90s, and grew up in a family of Realtors here in town.

I think we are all creative beings.  My paintings are simply an extension of my thoughts and perception of the world.  I love exploring all kinds of styles, strokes and color combinations.  I'll forever be a student of the natural world.  I'm studying art history in my 50s and enjoying learning how we've dismantled "right and wrong" over centuries of paintings.  The theme for me is to explore my own creativity, and to love the journey; to deeply love my life.

I hope you enjoy my art..
