Growing up in Central New York and at an early age becoming fascinated with its colorful history and architecture, it seemed natural that her bent for art should focus on this - primarily the rural buildings.  Sadly, many of which she painted are no longer in existence, having fallen victims to time, neglect, vandalism or what we label as 'progress'.  It is her intent to record some of these grand old structures as they appear today so as not to be forgotten by future generations.
