lived and painted on the Long
Island, NY coastline for most
of 55 years, traveling to
different parts of the world

living and working in the
Midwest, drawing influence
from the history, the vast
horizons and landscapes of the
rivers, lakes and prairies.
She is a signature member of
the National Society of
Painters in Casein and
Acrylic. She was a gallery
owner, juror, teacher, costume
designer and builder and
scenic artist for theatre. She
has painted and sold many

to businesses and individuals.
