Art has always been my life with mom a talented artist was my first teacher of sketching, drawing and color. In college, I was an art major but it led me into the world of design where I practice interior design for healthcare and healing environments for 40+ years. It is here that I found the connection between nature, beauty and healing. Early in my design career, I painted a signature piece for each of my clients where I left a piece in their waiting rooms. In a children’s cancer center, I painted a beloved “Pigeon Park” for the waiting room which led to my first solo exhibition in San Juan, PR in the mid “80’s”. Now retired from active interior architecture practice I have returned to my first love of watercolor painting, seeking out nature to capture the beauty of the world. Always a student of art, I continue to engage with art programs at the Smithsonian, and the art league of Alexandria where I continue to study
