Although I grew up in green New Hampshire, I have developed a love for the desert and love to hike all around Arizona including the Superstitions and McDowell Mountains, as well as a trip to Havasupai in the Grand Canyon. I enjoy photography and use many of my photos as reference for my paintings.  My husband Bob have a cabin in Munds Park and enjoy hiking in the Flagstaff area as well which has given me inspiration for many of my paintings.
