General Info:

Member of: Homestead Center for the Arts, Homestead Art Club, South Florida Nat'l Park Camera Club, East Everglades Orchid Society I am a Homestead Artist. I moved to Homestead in 2016. I was born and raised in Miami Beach and lived there the past 30 years. I have also spent much time in the N. Carolina Mountains around Asheville. I sell my art at galleries, shops and on a web page called Etsy. I had a 30-year career traveling and selling at juried outdoor art festivals east of the Mississippi. I have won over 60 awards for my art. I am a painter, photographer, and work in mixed media making small sculpture, jewelry and art to wear. Art is my passion in life. I bring a wealth of knowledge with me to Homestead. My hope is to develop a thriving visual art community here. My first series of oil paintings that I have made here are called the "Homestead Harvest". They are 50 oil paintings depicting the fruits that were grown and harvested here in the Homestead area. They were featured in the Spotlight art show at the Seminole theater in 2017. When people ask how I make my art, I tell them that my art happens when my soul takes me by the hand. I wrote this poem about my creating. My Art Quieted, deeply silent, I submit, I surrender.... Evaporating my reality, I flow effortlessly entranced... It is at this point... This moment, where my art transcends my thought, where my hands guided by my soul... I create. It is in this state where air has color... breath has hue...thought has form... and aura has shape. It is here in art where God whispers to guide and fingertips have reason and palms imprint the signature of creation... I make art.
