I have always been artistic, creative and had an eye for graphic designing, but I didn’t begin painting until I retired from my various positions in the field of Education.

Since then, painting has become my passion. In New York, I study at the 92nd Street Y. I have also travelled to Pinzolo, Italy and Florence, Italy to study watercolor, and I have had an artist’s residency in Ireland in the past Fall. Watercolor was my first medium, and I have now branched out into colored pencils and oils. My work has been selected to hang in juried shows at the 92nd Street Y, The Blue Door Art Center, Old Town Art and Crafts Guild in Cutchogue and in the Vintage Artists Gallery Exhibits. I have also had my own exhibit at Gallery 18 in the Riverdale Y.
