ABOUT

I'm a contemporary painter who lives and works in Petaluma, California with my cartoonist husband, Pete McDonnell and our son, Jacob.  

Born in Eugene Oregon, and raised in Pullman, Washington.

I am inspired by the traditional techniques of Old Masters Portraiture and Contemporary Realism of Northern California. My paintings are exhibited in numerous private collections and collectors  throughout the United States, Australia and in the United Kingdom.

I was awarded the 2022 Resident Artist Sperry Chalet in Glacier Nat'l Park Montana.
