    Exhibiting at Summer Art Fairs

    I enjoy selling at the summer art fairs in the local Chicago area. It's fun to meet the fans of my art and my scarves and help collectors go home with art that they will love for a lifetime!

    Painting in my Studio

    Here I am pictured working on an abstract painting demo for my online art course "Big, Bold & Beautiful: An Approach to Painting Intuitively". I love teaching aspiring artists to find their style and hold a consistent art practice of their own. There is so much joy, healing and discovery to be found in an art practice.

    I am inspired by keeping fresh flowers in my studio at all times. Flowers inspire my paintings, scarves and accessories. I believe in surrounding ourselves with beauty in every way possible.

    Painting Demo at Elk Grove Artists Association

    Painting Demo at Elk Grove Artists Association

    I was asked to paint a floral in front of a local art group of about 15 aspiring artists (the Elk Grove Artists Association) in September of 2025. This demo was a to of fun to do. Since I paint rather intuitively, I did not have a strong plan in mind for the final painting -- only the colors I planned to use. The demo included a Q&A.
