Her greatest inspiration comes from nature, in particular, animals. Murals, pet portraits, and book illustrations are her mainstay, with occasional adventures in stained glass, 3D, and graphic art. Her murals can be seen in businesses and homes in the tri-state area, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Her fine art paintings appear annually at a variety of East Coast shows and in private homes nationally and overseas.
