Artist's Statement and Bio

I believe it is my purpose in life to bring more joy, peace, happiness, and love into the lives of those around me. Painting is just one of the ways in which I attempt to do this. I find personal joy and fulfillment in producing unique, personal, commissioned pieces of art for my clients. To be able to understand someone else’s vision for a piece, and to bring that to fruition, is a gift to all involved!

I enjoy painting scenes that bring a smile to the face of the viewer... be it a personal memory, a meaningful portrait, or a broader representation of a scene of nature. I work primarily in oils, though I also offer renditions in acrylics, pen and ink, pastel, and colored pencil.

A resident of Cape Cod since 1997, I was born and raised in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, started painting at the age of 13, studied privately with Jeanie Moyer of Moyer’s Art Gallery, and followed the art major curriculum at Cedar Cliff High School in Camp Hill. After high school graduation I chose to not pursue art professionally, but rather to keep it as my personal gift and joy.

I started college as an Animal Science major at the University of Delaware, later transferring to Gettysburg College, earning a B.A. in Biology. A year of study followed at the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Gettysburg as a candidate for ministry. Formal education then ended for a time, followed by numerous jobs in fundraising, sales, and marketing., and motherhood! I also earned certification from the International Institute of Reflexology in the Ingham Method of Reflexology. Additionally I have been employed for the past seven years as Minister of Music at Christ Lutheran Church in Falmouth, playing organ and piano each Sunday, as well as directing the choir.

Exhibits and gallery showings have included Mimi’s Art Gallery and Studio (Falmouth), Island Art/Kennedy Studios (Vineyard Haven, Martha’s Vineyard) , Cataumet Art Center (Cape Cod), The Marion Wine and Arts Festival (top prize winner), Gallery 333 (North Falmouth), West Falmouth Library Annual Art Show and Sale (West Falmouth), Falmouth Artist’s Guild (Falmouth, MA), Highfield Hall (Falmouth, MA), Gallery 30 (Gettysburg, PA), Greystone’s Gallery and History Emporium (Gettysburg,PA), Coffee Obsession (Woods Hole, MA), The Faxon Center at the Falmouth Hospital, and Falmouth Community Television (FCTV), and Bellezza Spa (Falmouth, MA.)
