Her oil painting with some water colors and pastels and pencil works are about her favorite places throughout her travels or special people. They are focused in the moment and most are completed on location or in a single day to capture the immediacy of the single experience of mood, color, reflection of time and space. Each painting captures a single moment a precious time in history never to be the same again. The process is exciting, there is high energy flowing in her brush strokes, beautiful color harmony, strong composition in her work.
