I live in a small house in Connecticut, sandwiched between woods on 2 sides, a river and I-95. Here I create paintings, maps,  landscapes and collages. All aspects of the Natural World interest me.

During the 90s I lived in Japan for 5 years. ( My husband was on an international assignment). There I studied traditional Japanese painting with a fourth generation Nihonga Artist, Ota Sensei, ( Nihonga is traditional Japanese art). I try to incorporate the highly decorative Japanese approach to nature in my own work and Japan still remains a very strong influence

I am drawn to anything with pattern and color, especially if it has a Japanese or South Western flavor. ( I attribute this to all the grey and rain when I was growing up in the UK.) I feel most alive below the wide skies of New Mexico.

I live and teach in Greenwich, Connecticut.
