Artist Statement

My mission for my art is to Do Good (through) Art by creating the best art I can and by donating 100% of the net proceeds of all sales to charity. My current focus is supporting the American Cancer Association’s efforts to eliminate cancer as this is a cause close to my family’s heart. I often take inspiration for my art
from my travels whether it be hiking in the foothills and mountains around my home, throughout the US, or across the globe. My pieces often include landscapes that highlight sunsets, clouds, and the interplay of light on water. That said, I have diverse collections including landscapes, sunsets, water (oceans, rivers,lakes), National Park inspired works, and flowers. My primary medium is soft pastels, but I also dowatercolors and colored pencil pieces.

Artist Biography

I was an artist from an early age, experimenting in drawing, charcoal, acrylic painting and mixed media in grade school through high school. However, I put art on hold while I pursued a finance career which allowed me to travel the world living in London, Prague, Taipei, Johannesburg, and across the US.
After retiring and moving to Colorado, I attended a soft pastels art class in February 2023 and rediscovered a passion for art. Art has become my “next act’.
I am proud to have been accepted into numerous juried art shows and asked to donate pieces directly to charity fundraisers. I call my business Do Good Art since I donate 100% of the profits of all sales to charities that focus on issues like cancer, food insecurity, and homelessness. In so doing, my goal is to make the world a little better place through art and giving.

So join me in Doing Good (through) Art
