She began to sell her fine artwork privately, donating some proceeds to non-profit organizations. She has held four exhibits of her personal work, and each time has successfully blended her powerful vision with a variety of artistic media and form: pointillism, dry pastels, oil pastels, mixed media, watercolor and Scatterlings©: a collection of self-directed enchantment art.

“For me every act of creating art art is catharsis.
If I can provide my viewer with
just a glimpse of that emotional action,
I feel I have been successful.”

  1. I stumbled into your website as you repinned some pins from my boards. Now, I am enthralled in your pins. As I read your bio, I thought about how similar our backgrounds are as I also came to fine arts through interior design and graphic design and was also active (president of and regional representative) in the student ASID. I worked a while in ID (mainly contract and some teaching) before falling head over heels in love with painting. I suspect you are younger than I am, however. I will be in the Bay Area the end of October and would love to come by your gallery and meet you! If that is possible, email me and we can set up a time which works for both of us. I look forward to hearing from you. Very Best, Kim
