Art has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a family where art was appreciated and studied. We traveled and lived in several countries: Turkey, Holland, and Germany to name a few. This experience gave me the opportunity to visit many of the world's greatest museums and cities at an early age. Although Business was my major in college, I found the time to follow my true passion by taking many Art electives. Following college, I worked in the corporate world, but took Art and Design classes whenever I had the opportunity. Later, I entered the field of education and became an Art Teacher.

Currently I am devoting myself to creating art full time. In my work, I look for inspiration in nature and scenes that evoke a memory. I try to capture the essence of the scene. I work primarily in soft pastels and ink which allow me to explore the complexities of color and truly feel the medium. My work has been displayed at many local businesses and been in numerous juried shows. I am a member of several regional art associations.

I hope my work gives you as much pleasure viewing it as I had in creating it.
