About Me

After earning a B.S. in Education from the University of Maine at Farmington, I earned a masters degree from the University of Southern Maine. My career as an educator spanned thirty-six years, which included classroom teaching, serving as a consultant in the Maine Department of Education, and directing the student teaching program at the University of Southern Maine.

I have always had an interest in art, and upon retiring, began painting and drawing in earnest. Studying with artist Polly Blythe Goss, I immersed myself in local classes and workshops with a renewed energy, dedicated to the refinement of my painting technique. I love the challenge of intricate pen-and-ink work, and the surprises that watercolor offers.

Thanks to all of you who came to the opening at the Maine Art Gallery in Wiscasset. It was great fun seeing you! The building itself is worth a visit. Built during the presidency of Thomas Jefferson, it stands on a hill overlooking the Sheepscot River, and is a perfect setting for an art gallery - two floors with tall ceilings and large windows making it airy and light. The added lighting creates a soft glow and enhances the lovely paintings on display.
