FINE ART STUDIO

“I’ve always had an emotional response to color and texture. I feel it, see it, paint it and I find it’s not the “what” of the painting, but the “how”...I think that is why multi media, in all its varied forms, has become so much a part of my creative journey".

A native Californian, I have lived in the Sacramento area for over 30 years. I have been a graphic designer since 1975, and currently the owner of IQ Design, Inc. In 2013, I was very

fortunate to open Gallery iQ...a dream come true...combining business and passion into one location in Rocklin, CA.

I have responded to color since I was a little girl – visually and emotionally – so after 25 years of being in graphics, I finally decided to follow a heartfelt passion and start painting.

Through classes and workshops, I began my journey discovering the what and how of painting...style, medium, light, value, composition, and the “magic” that makes a painting sing. “There is still so much more to explore!” What I discovered is that your medium is your voice...your sense of design and color is instrumental in determining your success.
