Most of my paintings have been influenced by my surroundings. Teaching art to children has inspired me to approach painting with spontaneity, capturing their energetic qualities through brushwork and palette selection. In my work I revive imagination. I am currently living and working in San Francisco with my husband and two boys. I am continuing to study and exhibit art.
