After a career in architecture and interior design she re-entered the world of fine art and joined the Art Students League in New York City to study under its highly celebrated artists/instructors. Breaking away from the more representational interpretations, she worked in various techniques of mixed mediums in a more abstract approach.
Elements of nature are a continuing theme punctuating her work. Color and texture are used to convey a link to its organic origins. Occasionally natural materials, photo images or text are imbedded to indicate bits of reality.

"I strive to explore new freedoms in interpreting form in terms of the organic shapes and elements found in nature. I apply color as a means to unite these features and to show relationships between the intensity and subtlety expressed in every part of our environment, and yet attain visual harmony.”
