I was born in The Netherlands in 1952, moved to New York when I was a child and now reside in Massachusetts. I am a pastel painter, wife and mother of four. Not always in that order. I have been part of the Daily Painters movement on the web since September of 2006. I frequently create small works and publish them to my blog where the paintings can be purchased. I have 25 years of professional experience in graphic design and as a fine artist. My paintings have been displayed in art shows and galleries in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New York. For the past year, most of my work has been for sale through my website.
