Since 1999 I have lived full-time on Cape Cod , dividing my time between my studio art and writing (which cannot be separated), and time spent absorbing Cape Cod’s great wonders: waters and woods, creatures and skies, weather and seasons. I also savor my Orleans career as a myofascial therapist. The rest of my life is filled by my children and grandchildren, an old soul red dog called Grey, the sacred gifts that enrich each day and many treasured friends.

Three years have passed since I resumed painting following a hiatus of nearly 20 years. Two years ago I spent the month of February in a cottage overlooking Penobscot Bay in Northport, Maine. It was a personal retreat, designed with the intent of discovering whether I was going to resume painting in earnest or just give it up. I am now painting in earnest. For that I am most grateful.

This year, again in the winter, I am making another personal art retreat, this time in Provincetown.
