I am a native Virginian who has made her home in Virginia Beach for 24 years. I have painted and drawn all of my life in a traditional, realistic style, now working mainly in oils and acrylics. Only in the last few years have I been able to commit myself to my art full-time and now have a business painting custom murals, commission artwork and paintings on canvas.

My work has been accepted into several galleries and juried shows in Virginia and Maryland, with various pieces and commissions found throughout the US.

I am an active member of the local art community including Creative Artists of Tidewater and the Chesapeake Bay Artists Association.

Samples of my work may also be seen on these sites below.
