A collection of her paintings “Scene on the Trail” hung in the RAL Members’ Gallery on the second floor of the Rehoboth Beach City Hall for the month of October 2023. Also in October, some of her white-line woodcuts were in the Delaware White-Line Woodcut Guild’s exhibit “Making the Cut” at the Lewes Public Library.

Artist Statement:
My paintings are primarily of landscapes I photograph while hiking in National, regional, and state parks. I particularly like landscapes that can only be seen on foot.
