Color is the first thing you notice about my work. What makes it ‘pop’ is the placement of color and texture. The primary colors in my palette are derived from the colors in the original rainbow flag which represent sexuality, healing, sun, nature, art, harmony and spirit. As a painter I am a visual storyteller. A message comes with the art – perhaps it is playful, calming, erotic, disturbing, political, or even sacred. I like to flirt with the issues and experiences we face in everyday life, the things we do and the places we go that define our lives. Whether positive, humorous, or thought provoking, my work portrays events people relate to while creating a sense of place for the viewer.

I love this! Nice work. While working on my masters degree in educational leadership, I talked with many teachers who worked in these. Great capture

Thank You Trace, The School House opened its doors to students in 1868 and finally closed after the teacher Mary J. Kelly, who also attended as student there earlier in her life, retired in 1957. The upper walls are decorated with gorgeous paintings from Aesop’s Fables, painted by Justin Gruelle. Its a magical place. The property is now part of the New Canaan Connecticut Historical Society.
