I am a mostly self-taught painter who came to painting in 2013 after many years of working with glass mosaics. I am inspired by color and the deeply soulful, discovery process of being in the moment with the materials and the imagery as it arises.  My approach is spontaneous and playful. I paint in a studio that is 22 steps away from my kitchen door.

I live in Portland, Oregon with my husband and our two dogs, Dash and Ram - rhymes with "mom". I am obsessed and infatuated with my dogs. They are SO cute and sweet. I hope to someday be as loving, clever and open-hearted as they are.
