Her preference has always been to express her feelings and impressions through drawing and painting. She attended the artistic community college in Vienna and took part in advanced courses of European and American artists, to expand her artistic perspective. Living part of the year in Vienna (Europe) and part in Punta Gorda (Florida), she tries to express the beauty that she sees around her. The excitement of the change of seasons and the elusiveness of nature are what inherently draw her to paint plein air landscapes. To catch a special moment of a day is an on-going exploration of emotion and mood, of color and light during her painting process. Plein air painting is a wonderful way to be outside and to be totally connected to the subject. But she also enjoys painting in her studio in Punta Gorda and Vienna.

She  believes that a successful painting has a certain rhythmic and lyrical quality.
