“Lost, Along the Rocky Coast!” Amidst the Beauty of Newport. Rhode Island’s rugged coast a dog barks for her human. For a long time I thought the dog was lost and was considering bringing her with me. I was headed to a wedding in the Cape in Massachusetts. Of course, I wasn’t going to leave her there. Then I spotted the owner and her boyfriend, sunning below on one of the rocks. She kept trying to wave the dog around to another side to come down and join them which eventually she did. I was so happy when the dog joined her people. So was the dog! An oil, 20” wide x 30” high, $1,200.

Fine Artist

Painting provides peace of mind, an escape from the world.  I usually paint from a photo —mine or someone else’s—that inspires me, grips my imagination. I prefer painting land- and seascapes, animals, and still life in oil or watercolor.

I studied art at Syracuse University for a BFA. in fabric design, married, and raised a family.  I went to Drew University Graduate School for American Literature and Composition, and worked as a technical writer/editor for 22 years.

Upon retirement I began taking art lessons again, first at the Senior Center, then with James Feehan, and eventually with Dot Bunn. I also began exhibiting with Artsbridge and New Hope Arts League. In 2012  I won Best Watercolor in a juried Artsbridge show.

Now I paint every day and teach sketching and watercolor in my home in small groups.  It is so rewarding to witness my students excitement, when they learn something new or finish a painting.  I just joined the Arts and Cultural Council and I am so excited about exhibiting again and creating a gallery!
