Watercolor, Acrylic, and Oil Paintings

Surf City

She is particularly noted throughout the state for her historical paintings.  Each project reflects detailed research into the state’s past.  Her sources include historical societies, libraries, and a treasury of rare old photographs.  Lengthy personal interviews with local residents add to her background knowledge.

She has preserved historical New Jersey scenes from northern New Jersey to the coastal shores, and to the western tip in Trenton.  She was commissioned by McDonald’s restaurant to complete a series of historical paintings in Toms River, Manahawkin, Lakehurst, Burlington, Lakewood and Spring Lake. She has also done many historical paintings of Newark, Trenton, Burlington, and Perth Amboy.
