She practiced commercial design for 25+ years and commercial real estate for 10+ years with clients of every magnitude.  Moving to North Carolina from Annapolis/Baltimore and (semi) retiring to beautiful Southport has provided opportunities to hone a variety of artistic endeavors including silversmithing, jewelry making, charcoal sketching, acrylic and oil painting. She continues to explore all facets of contemporary painting styles. Inspiration is gathered from the natural beauty that surrounds Southport along with travels throughout the US and abroad.
