Life beside the Atlantic Ocean has provided me with a visual paradise full of strong colours and rich textures.  Creating Art is a magical process.  The tides and the seasons and even what I have found on the beach have all contributed to and influenced my art.

 I work in a variety of mediums and like to explore new ways of seeing and combination of colours.  In the past I have taught art in the public schools and have given workshops to adults as well as being an art instructor on cruise ships.

On one of my walks along the beach I collected almost a dozen golf balls that had washed in with the tide.  On the way home I wondered what I could do with them to give them another life.  It wasn't until I put them beside my camera which was on top of some material remnants that the idea of dressing up the golf balls began.  Since then these Golf Ball Beauties have taken on a life of their own. 

Enjoy the galleries.  If you see something you like and wish to purchase either prints or originals, or if you would like to make a comment please e-mail me by clicking on the Contact Tab at the top of the page.
