"My art recaptures images and moments that stirred me emotionally. My inspirations come from my passion for animals, especially horses, and scenes or experiences during my travels. Although I paint in various mediums, most of my recent works have been in watercolor.

I began drawing horses as soon as I could hold a pencil. My artistic abilities were widely recognized throughout high school, but in college I had to choose between majoring in art or music and chose music. After earning an M.A. degree from Claremont Graduate University, I taught in California's public schools for eight years. Then, chasing a path of increasing income led me through several careers including Certified Financial Planner and Equity Compensation Consultant. With wage earning now in the background I am again free to pursue my love for painting.

As a member of Burlingame Art Society and ARTshare of San Mateo County, I look forward to participation in open studios, art festivals, and exhibits. "
