Shortly out of university,  she completed two solo shows. The first, fifty pen-and-ink works, garnered over 30,000 gallery visitors and local television and newspaper exposure in association with preserving historical landmarks. A second, corporately commissioned solo show, toured across the Untied States,  induced a stream of private commissions, and fired an entrepreneurial spark to open a retail art gallery, framing center to parallel her  production  studio.

Attracted to a more dynamic art climate,  she parlayed proceeds of her retail  business to set up studio in New York City.  Before moving to Europe,  her work was intermittently collected and represented by Wally Findlay,  proprietor of galleries bearing his name in Manhattan, Beverly Hills, West Palm Beach, Chicago and Paris  In Europe, her work trails galleries and museums mainly  in The Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.

Trained in eight different media, she prepared well for filling commissions. Her life experiences, diverse and enriching, required keeping a waitlist in four countries and honed her into a generalist, able to paint  many subjects and work in many media, after which she moved toward specialization in classical portraiture.  This is supported by activity in professional artist memberships, including juror and board member. 

Her art production and teaching methods are influenced by art and education stream outlined in The Flowering Staircase, the Dutch Golden Age as well as by contemporaries such as  Henk Helmantel, Evert Thielen, Jacob Collins, Daniel Greene, Jamie Wyeth,  Everett Raymond Kinstler, Ted Seth Jacobs and Nelson Shanks--many of whom not only produce professionally, but  who are passionate about educating others to secure classical art fundamentals and traditions for future generations.  Fascinated with theories associated with  brain dominance and the drawing skills, she believes Dr. Betty Edwards made the most important main stream impact in  contemporary educational models.


When not in her (indoor) studio, one may find her atop towns or villages  in southern France and Italy painting en plein air.  She holds workshops, where in addition to painting in beautiful places, she weaves the magnificent art history of the area into an art producing itinerary for example : Giverny Monet's House Garden and House,  Richard the Lionhearted's Castle, Van Gogh villages, Cezanne's studio,  Roman architecture, among much more. 
                 Her work is collected internationally and is currently represented by
                                 Dutch & Duchess Art and Antiques, LLC. in Europe and the US.
