Pastels are my primary language ~ I received my first set at 12! In 1979 I was elected to The Pastel Society of America, when my pastel Two Sisters was accepted into the International Exhibition at the National Arts Club in NYC. This early pastel is in the permanent collection of the City University of New York. My pastels grew in scale, culminating in a 10' diptych, Rainbows in the Sky, permanently installed at Longwood Art Museum.

Today pastels feed inspiration to my oil paintings, fiber art, and home decor fabrics. Thumbnail, studies, and small pastel paintings on handmade collage are available.
