Given her heightened awareness of the glories of nature & the immense variety of scenic experiences, she is almost always thinking creatively & feeling gratitude for it all.

She specializes in oil, acrylic & photography. More recently, her uniquely inspired seashell & sand aggregates have received much positive feedback.

Among other rotating venues, six of her latest larger landscapes - of Greece & the Mediterranean islands - can be enjoyed & purchased at Mylo's Restaurant in McLean.
