I have been working in Pastel for over 40 years. I have tried other mediums but
the texture and vibrancy of color that can be achieved with pastel has always captivated me.

I enjoy trying to recreate the beauty of God's creation, capturing moments in time
on my Easel. I enjoy painting landscapes, figures and portraits and murals.

I am originally from Cleveland, Ohio but moved to beautiful Naples, Florida
in 2004 and have come to love the beauty of Southwest Florida.
There is so much inspiration here for an artist.

Maureen passed away in Dec., 2025.

She is missed by everyone she encountered on her life's journey. She was a longstanding board member of SWFPS and an intregal part of the society, always present, and a bright and beaming light of kindness, and sharing. In her memory we will hold her place as one of our distinguished pastelists.
