Award Winning, French-American Artist, I paint Contemporary Abstract and Impressionist paintings mostly with a Palette Knife and Cold Wax Medium.
Painting, teaching and traveling... are what drive me each day. Painting for me was a life-changer. After “retiring” from a successful 37 yr. career in design and project management, I turned my passion for painting into a full-time career, once again.
Having dual citizenship with France, I travel often between the US and Europe, hosting travel workshops in France and Italy throughout the summer months.
My medium is Oil and I paint mostly with a Palette Knife. My technique allows me to created bold and textural impressionistic and Abstract paintings that speak to my desire for new discoveries within each new work of Art.
Coming full circle, I now enjoy giving back to the Art community by teaching, inspiring emerging arts to follow their passion and explore their individual journey.
A graduate of Woodbury University with a B.S. degree in Interior Design, I have held various design and project management positions with The Ritz-Carlton, Marriott Vacations Worldwide, Universal Studios and The Walt Disney Company.
I am a self-taught Artist, having studied drawing while living in Paris in 2000 at the WICE Academy. Upon my return to the United States, I continue to study with many of the great master painters including, Larry Moore, Don Sondag Jr, Peggy and Ray Roberts, Camille Przewodek, VIctoria Brooks, Timothy Horn, Douglas Fryer, Jerry McLaughlin and Rebecca Crowell, Dreama Tolle Perry, Leslie Saeta, Monique Carr, and more.
