My
sea odyssey
began when I was a young woman serving as crew aboard a commercial
swordfishing
boat on the Georges Bank off the New England coast. While on vacation,
a windsurfing lesson introduced me to a new sport, my future husband,
and
my new home in Florida. Living aboard our 47' motor yacht, Adept, my family and I
have frequented the Abacos and explored Florida's waterways. Now we
live on the banks of the lovely Loxahatchee River, a stone's throw from
the inlet at Jupiter, Florida, but another boat is definitely in our
future.
I began painting a few years ago at the urging of friends and I have
found it immensely rewarding and fun.
I paint in
acrylic and my artistic style
has been described
as loose and primitive. I am
a splashy painter of both southern and northern seascapes I know and
love. I am 'Not a realist' but am motivated by my passion for
color.
My work is
in collections in both Florida and New England.
