Title: “Bountiful Blooms”
Artist Statement:
“Bright, lively and fun is how I would describe my works of melted crayon, watercolor, and cut and torn painted paper. They are meant to delight the eye and bring a smile to one’s face.”

She is a graduate of Dominican University and UC Berkeley, in the field of Art, and did post graduate work in Art at the University of London.
