I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. Chicago, as you may know is known as the second city, as it was built twice after the Great Chicago Fire.

​

As far as I can remember, Chicago has some great architecture. I was lucky enough to see the works of Frank Lloyd Wright to Adrian Smith (designed the John Hancock and Burj Khalifa). Growing up, I would spend countless hours at The Art Institute of Chicago, studying the works of Van Gogh, Monet, Rivera, Hopper and Seurat.

​

From a more professional standpoint, I enjoyed a successful career as an executive (now retired) and worked among some of the major advertising agencies, publishing houses and entertainment companies in the nation.

​

I am a wife, mother, and "Nani" (grandmother). And when I am not painting, I spend time with my family.

I am well traveled and have visited over 35 countries and take it all in. I study and appreciate the arts, culture and events at world-class museums and historical sites. I try to replicate some of the greatness through my From sunrise to sunset in South Florida, Europe, Dubai, or India, my journey has been amazing and fulfilling. I hope you will enjoy it with me.
