Art has always been a central part of my life. I studied Art at Fordham University in New York City, where I was immersed in a world of creativity. I took classes at The Art Students League of NY and later studied in Madrid, where I had the opportunity to learn at the Prado Museum, drawing inspiration from the masterpieces that lined its walls. Despite my passion for painting, life took me in another direction. A demanding corporate career and the joys of raising small children meant stepping away from my easel. But art has a way of calling you back. My daughter—through her love of drawing, painting, crafting, and exploring nature—reignited my creative spirit. Now living in coastal New England, I find endless inspiration in the ocean’s shifting tides and rugged beauty. Whether painting a golden marsh at sunset, a weathered boat resting in calm waters, or joyful children leaping and splashing in the waves, I strive to capture fleeting coastal moments on canvas.
