At first glance one may not see the archetypal artist; a 42 year-old Buffalo native, she has a warm and agreeable personality. Mimi, as we like to call her, loves being part of groups and making friends. But scratching the unassuming surface I have found a genuinely skilled and thoughtful artist, possessing a natural affinity for line drawing and hand-eye coordination.

The choices of subjects that she chooses to work from reflect an admiration for classic painting and illustrations, encompassing, nature, history and mythology.
