A Fine Artist & Inspirational Writer

I am a fine artist. My oil and pastel paintings are rooted in personal experience but resonate with rhythms of change and memory titled “Seasons.” My work has exhibited widely throughout New England in solo and invitational shows, with work held in private collections across the United States, France and Switzerland.

My paintings are included in the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center’s permanent art collection. Notably, my pastel, The Blue Lady, displayed in the Cancer Center, along with the story of why I painted her has served as a source of encouragement for patients and their families, underscoring the quiet power of art to comfort and inspire.

As an inspirational writer, my goal and principle for my Website, Cancer Tested Courage and Faith will possess the similar power of hope, help, comfort, and encouragement to women whose husbands have cancer, and they find caregiver added to their role as wife, lover, mother, friend. The content of Cancer Tested Courage and Faith is also rooted in personal experience and documented in the journal of walking with, caring for, supporting, honoring his one request, and loving him through his two-and-a-half year extraordinary fight against the beast, esophageal cancer.
