The tranquility and aesthetic beauty of Loudoun and its surrounding counties help serve as my inspiration to paint. I am always ready to capture my biking, hiking and sailing adventures on canvas.

During the fall and spring, you can often locate me painting in the gardens at Historic Oatlands.

During the winter months, I find great happiness painting countless hours in my Leesburg Home Studio.

In addition to my local works, I am frequently inspired to travel and paint scenes from Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Arizona, Utah, and iconic parks such as the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Yellowstone and Red Rock Canyon.

I’ve even ventured to South Africa and Zambia on safari to paint the magnificent animals and rustic landscape, which has further diversified my collection.

I am formally trained as a nurse and hold a B.S.N. from the University of Virginia and a M.S.N .from the Medical College of Virginia. My hobbies include swimming, biking, sailing, hiking and traveling- and, of course, painting!
