THE ARTS CENTER OF MONTROSS

I am currently a founding member and Art Director for Artists’ Alliance Co-op @ Jarrett Thor Fine Arts in Colonial Beach, VA.

 

In 2003 I was a founding member and later president of The Colonial Beach Artists Guild.

 

I grew up in downtown D. C. and attended Corcoran School of Art on a teen scholarship and Maryland School of Art and Design in Silver Spring, Md.   I started teaching at NOVA (Sterling Campus) in 1980. I taught watercolor and children classes for Loudoun Academy of the Arts, Leesburg, VA. I loved doing summer camps with young people at Shenandoah University, PAVAN Performing and Visual Arts ARTREACH Program in Clarke County, VA. As artist in residence),  Foxcroft School for Girls, Middleburg, VA., and Frederick MD. Kids Like Us Program.

​

My own artwork has evolved into abstract expressionism, experimental watercolors and some with representational undertones.  The theme most often recognized in my body of work is how color and energy are showcased as they weave their way throughout the painting as well as my life. It’s like taking dictation for a song already written.
