My Art Bio
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 watercolors under diverse art techniques and process. I also participate in local exhibits.
Art has been the thread woven through the fabric of my life, thanks to my mom, a talented artist who was my first teacher in sketching, drawing, and exploring the vibrant world of color. In college, I majored in art, which eventually opened the door to a lifelong career in interior design, specializing in healing environments for over 40 years. It was through this work that I discovered the profound connection between nature, beauty, and healing—a synergy that became central to my designs.
Early in my career, I found joy in creating personalized art for my clients, leaving a lasting impression in their spaces. One of my most cherished works was "Pigeon Park," a vibrant large scale watercolor painting for the waiting room of a children’s cancer center, which led to my first solo exhibition in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in the mid-1980s.
