| My
desire to be an artist stems from my childhood, with memories of
playing with colored pencils with my twin sister at my
grandparents’ house. After obtaining an advertising art degree
from Kutztown University in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch
country, I worked as a designer in the corporate art departments
of Bank of America and Blue Cross, and then as a toy and package
designer for Hasbro Toys in New England. After relocating to the southwest, I enjoyed creating souvenir products with my husband, including posters and books, and was pleased to hear from customers entering our store that we had the “Disneyland” of souvenirs. Medical illustration, architectural renderings, computer packaging, renderings for the EPA, and botanical illustrations for the Rodale Press kept me busy for several years until I decided to pursue painting. Designing pieces for Phoenix Art Group, an art studio catering to the High Point furniture industry brought a new chapter to my career as a professional artist. I relocated to Las Vegas, and spent 6 years working in the residential as well as the hotel and casino industry designing custom pieces for interior designers working on specific projects. I currently reside in my quaint home town of Lehighton where I continue to design pieces for the hospitality market, and the gift and home décor market. I also run a retail gallery/art shop in Jim Thorpe, PA, where the public can browse my collections and purchase pieces for their home. |
