and world-renowned sculptor Ronald Brown.
Surreal Impressionism has become her signature, contemporary style.
She enjoys the challenge of combining traditional & contemporary techniques
with modern subjects, with oil as the preferred medium.

"I enjoy translating natural environments and tangible forms into intense color
contrasts. My style involves fluidity, balance, energy, luminous temperature and light.
Using undulating rhythms of color, form and dimension are presented within
passive space. Abstract and organic shapes join to create a realm that is literal
as well as imaginable, enabling the viewer to identify reality as well as illusion.
The surreal dimensionality of this realm ultimately transcends from the canvas
to the mind as one's own perceivable inner rhythms of life."
