I am a watercolor artist with a penchant for storytelling. I am also a photographer, and in both these media I exhibit a keen visual sense and an abiding interest in people. For 16 years I studied watercolor with renowned local artist Ken Landon Buck and am a member of the Cincinnati Art Club.

I have authored two books featuring my photos and writing ~ POSITIVELY NINETY: Interviews with Lively Nonagenarians and OUR FAMILIES: A Celebration of Adoption. After graduating from Oberlin College in sociology, I pursued photography studies at the Art Institute of Boston and later a master’s degree in library science from Simmons College.

My work, often dubbed Painted Stories, has been exhibited in solo shows at St. John’s Unitarian Church (Cincinnati) and All People’s Unitarian Church (Louisville). Other venues for my watercolors have included Kurtinitis Gallery and Café de Sales as well as participating in group exhibits at the Cincinnati Art Club, Art Local, Essex Art Walks, Venue 222, Cincinnati City Hall, Gallery Salveo, the Christ Church Gallery, Kennedy Heights Arts Center, Mohawk Gallery, the Curt Bessette Gallery, and Lesley University (Cambridge, MA).
