Art helped me through my grief

In 2020 my husband passed away. He was a television executive and with him I met many fascinating film and TV icons. Our 30 years together were very exciting and my heart broke when he died.

Alone, grieving and in the midst of a world pandemic, I picked up a paintbrush again and rediscovered my love for art. Time alone was my new normal and a gift to creating. My art has changed over the last few years as I move through the stages of grief. I continue to heal and currently I am painting bold, bright and fun pieces that compliment beach living.

My work led me to come full circle and today I offer you a window into my inspiration.
