ARTIST BIO
I was born and raised in a small town in Massachusetts, in the Berkshires. My husband, son, and I moved to Florida 10 years ago. After graduating from college, I worked in accounting for many years. I eventually taught myself medical transcription and spent 20 years transcribing from home as an independent contractor. I picked up my first paint brush in 2020 after I retired, strictly as “something to do”. I am completely self-taught, as my only training has consisted of watching countless tutorials on the internet to learn various techniques. After selling numerous acrylic paintings, I decided to try my hand at colored pencils in 2022. This allowed me to achieve the level of details I was not able to get with painting. In 2023, I moved on to pastel pencils, which is my absolute favorite of all mediums so far. In 2024, I experimented with watercolors as well, which I also enjoy. I consider myself a photorealistic artist. I mostly enjoy doing animals, domestic and wildlife, as well as people of all ages. The first time I entered a piece of my art into a gallery was in 2023. To my surprise, it sold! I am thoroughly enjoying this chapter of my life.
