Two Broke Girls
When I create a work of art, it begins from a place of inspiration. Once I start painting, often new and unexpected things happen on the canvas and I’ll abandon my original idea and allow fresh inspiration and intuition to guide my work. Once the painting is complete and hanging in the gallery, I never know how it will be interpreted by others or where it will end up. This series of paintings ended up on the TV show Two Broke Girls in a wedding scene guest starring Lindsay Lohan. I loved seeing the colors of my art decorating the wedding scene!!!

Ginkgo Trees
The ginkgo tree is a sacred tree of the East and a symbol of love, hope, and unity between opposites. It is also associated with longevity and is known to have medicinal healing powers.
Bowers Museum Healthy Aging Project
I was selected by the Bower’s Museum to be one of the art teachers for a research project in collaboration with Hoag Hospital to study how creativity supports healthy aging and can help prevent or at least slow down the onset of Alzheimer’s.
