Enjoy my art created with many different materials and techniques. I paint with acrylics and watercolors on canvas, silk, paper, and fabric. I sculpt and cast, sew and quilt, and enjoy photography and digital manipulation. I love working with my hands, which also includes gardening and cooking. Previously I was a research biologist in Alaska and specialize in animal behavior studies. I have also always enjoyed training animals and getting to know what is important to them. My Labrador Retrievers are my first love. All of these interests inspire my art, particularly my Labrador dogs (my own and the rescue dogs I foster) and the gardens and scenes of my home in the Finger Lakes region of New York. In my paintings I am not a realist, but prefer to simplify and abstract important elements that express a feeling, emotion or moment in time. I love to bring a smile to the face of anyone who views my art or make a connection by touching a shared sentiment.
