University. She was the Artist in Residence for the Stuhr Museum

Her
work is primarily nature-oriented through landscape and floral images.
She gets her inspiration from the time lapse growth of plants and the beauty
of the world around her. The vibrant colors of floral pieces reflect
the spiritual quality of our environment. The use of watercolor and
water media, helps to enhance the fluidity of her subjects, and reflects
a style that is unique.
