I’ve been drawing all my life\, and for many years concentrated on pen & ink illustrations including commissioned house portraits. In 2001 I began experimenting with acrylics\, inspired by the comical antics and effortless elegance of my two cats\, PK and Nellie. From there\, I developed a recognizable\, whimsical style usually featuring bold color and cheerful subjects from everyday life. In recent years\, I’ve started teaching both adults and children\, including my popular “Paint Your Pet” classes. Whether it is my cats\, my son or my surroundings here at home in New England\, I never fail to find inspiration.”

SUMMARY:EFT for Stress Relief Workshop

After suffering from a traumatic head injury\, she experienced many unexpected emotional side effects due to a condition called Post-Concussive Syndrome. Discovering and utilizing EFT was instrumental in her recovery and growth. She has now dedicated herself to sharing the benefits of EFT with as many as she can. \nCost is $10 per person and includes a beverage or pastry of choice.
