Favorite Place to Visit in Bucks County:
I love to visit and walk the streets of Doylestown & New Hope. I also enjoy visiting and shopping at Peddlers Village in Lahaska, PA.

Favorite Thing to Do in Doylestown:
My husband and I are members of the County Theater and we love to go to the rare movies they have to offer. We usually have a bite to eat and a cocktail at one of the many great restaurants in Dtown.

About the Artist:
I have a Bachelors Degree in Art from Rochester Institute of Technology. When I was a little girl in Florida I would put my drawing pad and charcoals in my bicycle basket and ride to a park or the bayou to draw. I always knew I wanted to be an artist. I am always so happy when I am painting or doing something creative.

About the Work (What/who has inspired you?):
Many famous artists inspired me along the way, Van Gogh & Cezanne, for example. But I am also inspired by other lesser known artists. The first person that comes to mind that influenced my attitude and approach to my work is R Roger Remington who was a professor I had at RIT. He pushed me to challenge myself and my thought process towards my art to a higher level. Google him, he's a very cool man!
