My art has always balanced me and gives me a place to reflect. I love to create colorful paintings that portray possibilities.

I especially love painting landscapes or vignettes with acrylic paint. I hope to inspire people to wonder, “What would I see if I walked that path, opened that door, watched those waves?” I guess my favorite art makes you want to dream.
Where do you find inspiration?Nature inspires me the most. I make an effort to notice how light moves through the clouds or how the leaves on trees show so many colors. I enjoy seeing how light and shadow combine to form beautiful scenes.
What would you do with $25,000?My husband and I look after a colony of cats near our home. There is little support for feral cats in Northern California, so we cover all their food and medicine costs ourselves. Any extra money would really help us pay for spaying, neutering, vaccinations, and food for the cats we care for.
