What excites me is the creative interaction among the elements of each painting - like a couple who has lived together for a long time and whose connection, though unspoken, is real and palpable. I am in constant search of my truest expression. Each painting takes me to roads traveled as well as worlds unknown and provides challenges for growth and humility. To me art is the equivalent of freeing my imagination from its formal bonds to pursue errands of truth. I use it to express - in the words of Wallace Stevens - "a dissociated abundance of being".		Member Profile: I was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I lived in Israel for 8 years, where I studied English and Spanish Literatures at the Hebrew University. I was living in Israel during the Six Day War and the Yom Kippur War. In 1974 I returned to Brazil where I studied Art with prominent local artists. In 1984 I moved to the U.S.where I continued to develop my skills in oils, mixed media and encaustics. I work and teach Oils and Encaustics at my studio in North Scottsdale.

I share my life with my husband, a marketing consultant and lyricist (he wrote the lyrics to the theme song for Disney's The Fox and the Hound).
