I ​WAS BORN AND RAISED IN UPSTATE NEW YORK ON MY FAMILY FARM.  MARRIED FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS, I WORK TOGETHER WITH MY HUSBAND ON OUR DAIRY FARM IN SHEFFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS.  

ACRYLIC PAINTING IS MY CHOICE FOR CREATIVE EXPRESSION.

I GET EXCITED ABOUT THE POWER AND MAGIC OF PAINTING AND ITS ABILITY TO CAPTURE MY OWN UNIQUE SELECTIVE PERCEPTION OF THE MOMENT IN A FORM THAT I CAN SHARE WITH OTHERS.

WITH THE BEAUTY OF OUR FARM AROUND ME, I HAVE RECAPTURED MY PASSION FOR ART.  IT'S MY GOAL AS A PAINTER TO ENCOURAGE THIS CLOSER EXAMINATION OF ORDINARY THINGS BY PRESENTING THEM IN CANVAS FORM. 

A PAINTING IS NOT ONLY MY CREATION, BUT ALSO THE RESULT OF AESTHETIC CONSIDERATION WHILE MAKING THE FINAL PIECE.  THE PROCESS ALWAYS ME TO BRING BACK A MOMENT IN TIME OR CAPTURING THE PRESENT, THE FEELINGS, EMOTIONS, OR EXPERIENCE THAT I HAVE HAD FROM IT.

THROUGH MY ART I SEEK TO DOCUMENT MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AS I SEE THEM AND SHARE THEM WITH OTHERS. 

MY WORK THEREFORE REPRESENTS A DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT I SEE, THE BEAUTY OF WHAT I AM BLESSED TO HAVE IN MY LIFE EVERYDAY.
