An artist with a detailed knowledge of the qualities of oil paints, she developed her own technique for painting that combined the techniques of the old masters and impressionists. She began each painting with a sketch, and after copying the forms on tracing paper, she said she studied the placement on canvas for optimum effect. After drawing the forms on the canvas, she then painted an under-painting in acrylic or oil paint, and then she glazed over in oil paint, often in burnt umber or viridian green.
One of the delightful techniques she acquired is skumbling, collecting unmixed oil paints on the palette knife and then applying them directly on the canvas. The effect is a fresh burst of clear color that gives her paintings the impression of vibrant light.
Although the show consists of figures and woodsy landscapes one lovely painting stands out from the rest. It depicts children in a nursery school setting painting and playing, and has a strong, warm quality.
