I studied art history in college then worked at the National Gallery of Art. Following an M.A., a career consulting, and a family, art got short shrift until retirement. I then most happily took studio art classes and formed a local art study group. In addition to “By”, my art has been seen at MarinMOCA, Bartolini Gallery, Marin Society of Artists, and the Marin County Fair this year.

Lift Me Back Up Again is a painting in a series that speaks to the quality of resilience. Painted as the pandemic was lifting, the piece is visually emblematic of being thwarted yet persevering. This oil on canvas portrays our ability to bounce back and recover, often with someone’s help. It’s about getting through -- together.
