GETTING TO KNOW ME

As an experienced fine artist, I specialize in bringing landscapes and people to life through paint. With my impressionist style and use of rich colors, my paintings invite you to walk into the scene and relive the most treasured moment from your wedding day!

My journey with art began at the age of 3 with my “arts and craft” shoebox, and continued through college in Massachusetts where I earned a degree in Art History at Wheaton College, before continuing on to study fine art at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, Rhode Island, finishing with the equivalent of a B.F.A. in painting. My travels to Europe, especially to Italy, and to Bermuda, the West, North Africa, Cape Cod and Newport RI, to mention a few, opened my eyes to the endless opportunities to create art.

Art as a career began later in life, after raising kids and working in various industries that just weren’t my cup of tea. A move to St. Louis inspired me to open my first studio, offering paint and sip parties and fine art lessons. The move back to Vermont four years later made me decide to include Live Event Wedding Painting in my repertoire. I loved the idea of creating uniquely personal pieces of art that depict such a life-changing day for a couple: where you were, the way you looked, and the way you felt all captured on canvas. And so it began…

    My notecards come as sets of 4 cards with envelopes, in a clear plastic box, making them perfect for gift giving. They are printed on a heavyweight 80lb cardstock, and all have a white border. The cards are images of my original paintings from my favorite places and gardens.
