Artist Statement
I was born in Paris, grew up in Hawaii, and currently live in Tucson, AZ.
I have a B.A in psychology from the University of Hawaii and a Master’s in Marriage, Family and Child Counseling from Chapman University. My husband and I have four children and are the authors of a dozen outdoor cookbooks (www.lipsmackincampin.com). I am currently working on an MFA at the Academy of Art University (AAU) in San Francisco.
While most of my work is charcoal pieces from my various classes at AAU, my passion is for oils. I use the technique of glazing, where I apply dozens and dozens of translucent layers to bring out its depth. It is a very slow process and it can take months to finish a single painting.
My art is available for purchase at www.saatchiart.com. I am also available for commissions. Please feel free to contact me anytime.
