I embarked on my art career later in life. As a child I aspired to be an artist, but, like many, I was encouraged to pursue a “practical career path,” which led me to study psychology, work as a diplomat overseas, and raise six children. Following a life-changing divorce, I turned to my artistic talents to support my family, finding early success in designing needlepoint canvases that sold worldwide. Yet, I soon discovered a profound fulfillment in creating large-scale works that could engage entire communities.

My time in fiber arts taught me to bring images to life without blending colors, a technique I’ve carried into my mural work. By celebrating each color in its pure form, I create realistic images that reveal new details depending on the viewer’s perspective, offering a fresh experience both up close and from afar.

Building my career as an artist while supporting my family has been a journey of resilience, passion, and the conviction that it’s never too late to follow one’s dreams..
