am a painter... and a student forever. There will always be more to learn.

Born and raised in Southern California, I am now living in Paradise Valley, Montana. I spent 15 years in the modeling business – Sports Illustrated, Look Magazine, and touring as a Rheingold girl – lots of fun jobs.

Although I’ve been painting and drawing since I was a child, it was when I retired from modeling that I really started to study art, first by reading books and going to galleries and museums, then by taking workshops and classes. I’ve always had a studio in my home, even if it was just a corner of the dining room. I’ve painted with Dorothy Royer, Corinne Hartley, Betty Edwards and Ted Goerschner.

I like intimate paintings that capture a beautiful moment; a corner of a room, looking out a window, the view through an open doorway, the play of shadow and light, and I like to include a living being - person or pet. I want my paintings to make you feel good. I work in oil, and have been influenced by the works of Matisse, Bonnard, Vuillard, and Fairfield Porter.
