She
has had a stong interest in art beginning
painting and art classes when she was twelve, and visiting the Dallas Museum
of Art, and The Chicago Art Institute regularly
made an impression on her style by seeing famous paintings. She studied art
at UT Arlington, and transferred in her junior year to the Architecture
department from the Art department, graduating with a Bachelor of Science
in Architecture. She studied printmaking at TCU and the University
of Dallas ,
and is a registered Texas Architect and Interior Designer. Seeing other museums also created a
great love for art including the Kimbell Art Museum,
Louvre, Prada, Kunsthistorisches, Ufizzi, and The National Gallery.

In
the late 70s, she participated in gallery art shows, university exhibits and Dallas
Woman’s Caucus of Art and Texas Visual Artist competitions. In the mid 80’s
she met the abstract expressionist, Herbert Ferber, at his art exhibition at
Adams Middleton Gallery in Dallas
. His vast canvases with sculptured facade inspired her to
paint large.
Flora
and Feather series is influenced by the allegorical style of the paintings
from the Italian Renaissance period, with an assemblage of flowers, landscape
and birds. New Mexico Series is influenced by the palette from the Post
Impressionist style. A lot of her work is concentrated on landscapes of
vineyards, farmlands of Tuscany, the Midwest
farmland, and California
seascapes.
Her
art has been influenced by a combination of her education, family
encouragement, and interests in architecture and art history. After painting
seascapes and studio figures in California for three years, she relocated
back to her home in Texas. She is exploring new venues
and expressions of art including abstract seascapes.
