“To give beauty” paraphrases my middle name and reflects the aspiration for my art. Based in Gloucester, I participate in local art events and have exhibited in Cape Ann and the Boston region. After a graduate degree in art history and languages, I shifted to a career as a physician. I became a medical faculty member and university administrator. I am now expanding my visually creative side, painting mainly in oils that encompass plein air (outdoor landscapes), portraits, figures, and florals. 

This event is perfect for anyone who loves art and food.

Reservations are strongly recommended.
