My color knowledge comes from 30 years of experience as an artist and visual art educator. As an artist, I use color as a “language” to express intangible ideas and emotions in a painting composition. My large format, oil paintings feature vivid colors, 24K gold leaf, and a myriad of collage materials. I find that colorful paintings serve as color accents and “injections of color” on muted, neutral walls. My paintings have been featured in area galleries and have won “Best in Show” in local exhibitions.
As professor in Texas State University’s School of Art & Design, I introduced color theory, critical color relationships and the effect color can have on human behavior to young artists. We traveled to the most vibrant venues in Italy to study color in natural light. Although I have retired from teaching, I enjoy helping clients learn about color as they make their selections. I am very passionate about color and excited to show clients in the San Antonio area how new colors can transform their homes.

GALLERY REPRESENTATIONS
I begin with an in-depth consultation to understand your vision, preferences, and lifestyle. This helps me create a design plan that truly reflects your personality.
My experience as an artist and designer will guide a detailed design concept, complete with mood boards, sketches, and material samples. We work closely with you to refine the design until it’s perfect.
From sourcing materials we manage every aspect of the project offering support throughout the process. My attention to detail ensures that the final result exceeds your expectations.
