| Occupation | Plastic Surgical Nurse and Portrait Painter |

| Introduction | I am a true “glass half full” girl and proud of it! In my profession of plastic surgical nursing, I work with the human form and the perception of beauty everyday. For these reasons, I suppose it’s no surprise that I paint what appeals to me most; people. My portraits and figurative paintings are simple and straight forward. There are no hidden agendas, deep meanings or abstraction. Whether it is a portrait or fine art piece, my intention is to give you just enough information so you can finish the story. When the last college tuition was sent off, I vowed to check some things off my “bucket list.” I wanted to learn to fly, play piano, paint portraits, sculpt and learn a foreign language. I haven’t made it to the sculpting or the foreign language………yet – but I am living the dream. I’m an instrument rated pilot. I play piano well enough for my own pleasure and it is my sincerest hope that my paintings will offer you pleasure. Every time I pick up a brush, I aim to do better than yesterday…….so stay in touch and see where life takes my art next. Why do I paint? I must…… |
| Interests | Painting, Flying, Piano, Gardening |
| Favorite movies | My husband and I are movie nuts. We usually try to see one a week. Pizza and movies....I enjoy even the lousy ones. |
| Favorite music | I love all kinds of music.....particularly the intimacy of a single live performer......give me a performer and his/her instrument and I'm there. I started taking piano lessons later in life and it was one of the most rewarding things I've ever done. I'm dyslexic so I didn't know if I could learn to play. I met a wonderful teacher, Betty Ruckman, who said, "Of course you can." Michael plays, too. |
