From the Artist

I am the 4th generation of women artists in my family, and have called myself an artist since I could hold a pencil or brush. Most of my current works are landscapes focusing on the history of rural 19th-century abandoned farm houses in Virginia's Northern Neck. I'm drawn to the faded wood and rusting metal roofs of these old beauties and try to show them against changing weather conditions and dramatic cloud formations.

Occasionally, for the fun of it, I like to create abstract works that play with pure surface, form, texture and color. The works here span 40 years of those playful experiments. Enjoy, and feel free to play with orientation.

Abstract works should please, whichever side is "up."
