This was the last painting in my sunflower series. I really enjoyed building upon the layers of oil paint. There is a truly beautiful center of a woven tapestry like quality to this flower. The finishing touch of the magnificent gold frame really makes this painting one of my favorites! Quite pleased with the results. Oil/Canvas - 16" x 13" (Framed) -
The creation of this painting came to me by a friend through a challenge. They sent a photo of an Italian village nestled into the hills and challenged me to paint a likeness of it. An extremely detailed painting, I love the composition of all the colors, texture and light. I hope other people can enjoy this as much as I enjoyed painting it!Oil/Canvas - 24" x 24" (Framed) -
This is an enchanting painting that is built up with layers upon layers of oil paint. There is a lot of old fashioned charm in the stonework, highlighted by the welcoming door and windows, and slate walkways and most of all cheerful flowers. If you like country charm, you will love this!Oil/Canvas - 14" x 11" -
Brings back a memory when I was going to my first prom and I wanted this gorgeous pink gown, but my parents said “No,” because it was too “grown up,” looking for me. I will always remember that gown and my longing for that beautiful shoulder less gown with the over skirt of tulle. That is the story of how “Pinky” was created! Acrylic/Canvas - 45" x 35" (Framed) -
After my husband passed I spent a lot of time in book stores looking at books and magazines. I came upon an idea of painting a models body and changing the face to somebody that I knew. My friends were more than happy to help because they liked the idea. I have continued with this method of painting, if I see a gown or a pose that inspires me. I adore fashion and the beautiful magazines that highlight lovely, faces, bodies, clothing and accessories. So when I paint these rather huge paintings I find it to be very exciting, almost as if I am part of the fashion industry!Acrylic/Canvas - 44.5" x 35" (Framed) -
This painting is very important, because it documents the times. US Naval Hospital ships bring hope, healing and comfort. The “Mercy” ship is the largest civilian hospital ship, and it was sent to Los Angeles during the COVID19 Pandemic. I painted this ship with the “Angel of Mercy,” and doves. The doves are a symbol of love and peace. As an artist I feel that it is my duty to put my God given gift to use when there are monumental events happening in this bright yet sometimes bitter world that we live in. This painting documents the last few months. Oil/Canvas - 11" x 14" -

These beautiful fall sunflowers have a rich brown background that makes them pop out. The center of these flowers look life like, as the layered oil paint brings a realistic look.

I always loved Mermaids and the idea came to me of painting a magical Mermaid lifting a conch shell to her ear as she listened to the lullaby of the ocean. This lovely sea creature has such a soothing look about her that you instantly get a sense of calmness and serenity when you view this painting. I was extremely pleased with the finished work.Oil/Canvas - 28" x 25" (Framed) -
When I was younger I constantly had dreams of walking through a castle, rubbing my hands along the stone walls as I walked by. I decided that I would paint a forgotten castle, high on the hill overlooking the water. I added a huge, colorful mysterious moon for a mystical look. I like the title: “Once Upon a Time,” it seems to sum it up nicely!Oil/Canvas - 18" x 14" -
This painting was inspired by a picture. I have always loved wildflowers and when I saw the picture in a calendar I was drawn to it. I changed it up a bit, and the flowers are much denser, but I was extremely pleased with the way it came out. It reminds me of running up a hill and turning the bend and much to my surprise there was a blanket of beautiful, colorful wildflowers covering the landscape. Then I would pick a bunch of the little fragile flowers cradling them gently in my hands until I arrived home to place them in a vase where they graced my kitchen table!Oil/Canvas - 19.5" x 16" (Framed) -
Flowers on the window ledge was taken from an image that was embedded into my mind. A memory of a kitchen window with cheerful sunflowers in a glass vase. Colors of summer leaves fading out as autumn leaves blended in with them. A slight trail of a path leading into the dense woods, as the leaves waved, beckoning me to come and be one with nature!Oil/Canvas - 19" x 15" (Framed) -
The woman with a Dragon on her back represents a time when a woman stands up for herself. Unapologetic about her beliefs. The Dragon is the embodiment of Chaos and Untamed Nature. The Dragon stands for action without fear of consequences. Dragons symbolize depth, passion and protection! “Even Angels Fall” means that there is a time when women have to break out of “pleaser” mode, because pleasing comes from a place of fear, (fear of loss or rejection.) Giving however, comes from a place of pride and strength because you truly care about someone without expecting something in return. Realizing that it is okay to develop emotional boundaries with people, and it is okay to be angry if it gives us a sense of ourselves that leads to an emotional, beneficial re-education. This is a powerful painting about a woman awakening to her authenticity!Oil/Canvas - 18.5" x 13.5" (Framed) -
This painting is very magical with the little birds resting on the bright red mushrooms, surrounded by autumn leaves, flowers and branches. It speaks to me of a place where these two little birds can hideaway in a safe and beautiful spot where no-one will bother them. They blend into the natural surroundings and lend a peaceful feeling to the enchanted woods!Oil/Canvas - 18" x 13.5" (Framed)
