Her journey from specializing in horse portraits after learning from esteemed instructors at Sacramento State University, American River College, and Sacramento City College, to exploring the realm of abstract art, reflects a fascinating evolution in her artistic expression. It's intriguing how the freedom of abstraction allows her to explore new avenues while still incorporating elements of her beloved midcentury modern style.

It's a testament to the versatility and ongoing evolution of her creative journey.
