Knowing that humans are responsible for the dramatic and perhaps irreversible changes to our environment compelled me to capture my responses to melting glaciers, lost land masses and extreme weather phenomena.

In the past several years, I have been working on a series called EARTH INTERRUPTED. Ignorance, averice and untethered development are the interrupters, effecting the air we breathe, the water we drink and the land we cultivate and treasure.

The bizarre beauty of these changes to our earth has been both captivating and horrifying; watching an accident in slow motion; feeling impotent; I CAN ONLY PAINT.

When I was 10 years old my father took me on his architectural site visits. On the way he would pull over, take out the watercolors and we would paint. This began my enduring love of painting.

My years as an Architect, a Show Designer at Walt Disney Imagineering and an Art Director and Department head at Universal Studios Japan kept me in constant touch with my love for the creative process.

I live and work with my artist husband between Los Angeles and New York. My New York studio is in a large barn built in 1843.

Painting is a sustaining force in my life.For me, its a necessity like air and water. My work is focused on our earths changing landscape, especially climate change.

I have shown and sold my work in Los Angeles at the Venice Art Auction and, Bergamot Station Charity Auctions.I was curator for Art for Clare Charity Auction
