Artist Statement

I live on a farm called Weymouth Walk in Atlantic County with my husband, where we have raised a variety of livestock. Most of my work is based on plein air observation of rural life and its inhabitants. These interpretations are recorded in a variety of media (2D and 3D). More than notations this work conveys serenity, peace and sometimes humor, coupled with color and technique. It is my hope that these feelings are connected to the viewer.
I consider myself a life long student of the environment and the Arts.
