About me...
I am a photographer and artist, working in
watercolor, gouache, acrylic, pastel and graphite. My
husband and I moved to Wake Forest, NC in September 2007
from Long Island, NY. We relish the beauty and climate
of the area. We also appreciate the relaxed and mellow
pace and the friendliness of the people. We are
fortunate to have our children and beloved grandsons
living here as well.
I have always been an avid photographer, and am rarely
without a camera. When I retired from the NYC school
system in 2003, I decided to pursue my interest in Fine
Art. I enrolled in the Botanical Illustration program at
the New York Botanical Gardens in the Bronx, NY. It was
there that I learned to draw and paint, and I also made
some lasting friendships. I have traveled with the
former director of the program, Mindy Lighthipe, on
Artist tours to Costa Rica, France and the Galapagos
Islands. What wondrous places to visit; the eye candy
was overwhelming.
I am available for commission work of graphite or
acrylic portraits of your family or pets, including your
favorite koifish. I work from photographs, and am
available to take the photos as well. Please contact me
for more information @ 516-316-4968, or by filling out

**Please note that more of my work will be
added to this website soon.
