Meet the Artist — How Paradise Found Its Way Onto My Canvas

My painting experience spans 30+ years and is inspired by two decades of travel to the Caribbean and countless hours painting on the beach and in my studio. Collectors tell me my paintings bring color, calm, and the spirit of the islands into their homes.

After a rewarding career in Human Resource Development and Higher Education, I moved from Pennsylvania to Florida in 2011 to follow my passion for painting full-time -- and I’ve never looked back.

Over time, my artistic direction has naturally settled on tropical scenes, the vibrant colors, the play of light on water, and the calming rhythm of the waves that speak to something deep inside me. 

When I paint, I feel a sense of peace, joy, and connection to nature that’s hard to put into words. My hope is that each brushstroke carries that same feeling to you, so when you look at one of my paintings, you’re not just seeing a beach -- you’re feeling the warmth, the stillness, and the escape it brings.

Who Collects My Art?

My paintings have found homes with those who share a deep love for the ocean and tropical life. Homeowners, beach lovers, and fine art enthusiasts across the country tell me how my work adds vibrant color, peacefulness, and a touch of the islands to their spaces.
