From an early age, I was fascinated by art. Inspired by the works of O'keefe, Van Gogh and Vermeer, I was painting in oils in my early teens. However it was not until many years later that I returned to my passion, the visual arts, studying graphic design and fine art. My work has been selected for student shows and I have received portfolio awards for both graphic design and fine art. I continue to challenge myself by attending further classes and workshops on a regular basis, in spite of a busy full-time job, which helps me to buy all my art supplies! Born in London, England, I came to the United States in 1979 with my husband and currently live with my family in North Hollywood, California. Memberships:
