I paint and draw nature, landscape and spiritual themes using acrylics, and other wet and dry media. I studied painting and drawing at Boston’s MFA School. In the natural world I find joy, inspiration and consolation; I am also a Zen student. I am a member of the National Association of Women Artists in New York, and the local chapter in Massachusetts.
