For me, painting is an analogy for life, a balance of risk and control; knowing when to push harder; knowing when to stop. I started painting several years ago to relieve the stress of my high-tech career, never dreaming it would change my life.

I recently moved to Maine with my husband Dan Nygaard (of Dan's Flower Farm) to organize my life around making art. Since then I have established my studio/gallery in Sedgwick, had numerous solo shows, made many new art friends, and sent many, many paintings to new homes in corporate and private collections around the world.

Please take a moment to send me your feedback on my work, and come visit our farm and gallery in beautiful downeast Maine!
