Art for Life began in 1988 in response to the AIDS epidemic in Sonoma County and has grown to a much-anticipated annual event to benefit care services for the more than 500 men, women and children living in Sonoma County with HIV and AIDS. We encourage everyone to experience this exemplary exhibit of art.

Art for Life (AFL) has raised more than two million dollars for Face to Face HIV prevention services, harm reduction services, and care services programs for people living with HIV/AIDS in Sonoma County.

These new paintings have been created directly onto aluminum panels.  acrylic paints & inks are securely applied to the raw metal.  

What happens is an amazing flow of light as the painting is exposed to varying light sources.  

What a camera sees as greys, your eyes will see sparkling changing light and colors.

Please come & see them in person.  you will wonder.......

My painting “Colors…of Music” will be featured in an exhibit titled "Making Art in a Changing World: Capture the Possible" at the Belvedere-Tiburon Library for two months beginning September 19.

Fusion Art is once again celebrating Women Artists. For this open (no theme) competition, the gallery invited both 2D and 3D women artists, only, over the age of 18, and regardless of their location or their experience or education in the art field to submit their best representational and/or abstract work in any media.

It's a great honor to be a Guest Artist for the months of November & December 2023.  Healdsburg Center for the Arts is featuring five of my paintings. Please drop in to enjoy them in person if possible.
