“I’ve always had an emotional response to color and texture. I feel it, see it, paint it and I find it’s not the “what” of the painting, but the “how”...I think that is why multi media, in all its varied forms, has become so much a part of my creative journey.”
A native Californian, I have lived in the Sacramento area for over 30 years. I have been a graphic designer since 1975, and currently the owner of IQ Design, Inc. In 2013, I was very fortunate to open Gallery iQ...a dream come true...combining business and passion into one location in Rocklin, CA.
I have responded to color since I was a little girl – visually and emotionally – so after 25 years of being in graphics, I finally decided to follow a heartfelt passion and start painting.
Throughclassesandworkshops,I beganmyjourneydiscoveringthe what and how of painting...style, medium, light, value, composition, and the “magic” that makes a painting sing. “There is still so much more to explore!” What I discovered is that your medium is your voice...your sense of design and color is instrumental in determining your success.
I have been involved with Rocklin Fine Arts for over 10 years, serving as president and vice president. I have participated in the Placer Arts Studio Tour, been an award winner at several regional shows, judged at the California State Fair Student Graphics venue, West-ern States Horse Expo Art Show, Vacaville Art League, Lincoln Arts,andledseveraldifferentcritiquegroups.Ialso teach workshops and classes at Gallery iQ, and been instrumental in bringing national and international artists to teach workshops at the gallery. I have chaired, hosted and curated many shows throughout my art career. I am also one of over 40 prestigious artists exhibiting at the High Hand Gallery, Loomis, and the Old town Art Gallery, Auburn, CA.

ALCOHOL INK
I call these “water color on steroids”...brilliant colors in
an alcohol base combined with textured backgrounds on non-porous surfaces create unique patterns and texture.
ACRYLIC
Acrylic paint is such a versatile medium...producing heavy layers of paint to beautiful transparent glazes. It creates a base for many different creative paths.
MULTI MEDIA
Mixed media is one of the most freeing and playful forms of art. It allows you to “paint” collaging papers, stamping, creating textures combining many different mediums and techniques.
BATIK
Batik is an old process using a wax resist process from Indonesia. Applied to paper it creates free form back- grounds of color and texture.
