Welcome to Cofvinoarte Studio 
 

              I've been painting full time for 5 years.The first year my Goat painting was accepted into a show called “ The

    best of the best’ at A. E Backus Museum.Soon after my painted bust was in a show“In her image” at the Elliot

           Museum in Stuart,Fl . 

            In Sept 2022 I began teaching one on one art classes to an 8 yr old boy.The curriculum were my painted A to Z letters which each had a picture and story to encouraging  a picture and story. At the end of 8 months he completed

        “ Project A to Z”.His drawings covered one wall.   

           I have painted 17 children's art books. A to Z animals, Painted A to Z story book which evolved into wearable art     and home decor on contrado.com "Painted A to Z". I painted  Draw in books with practice pages of trucks, horses ,

body parts and birthday name books. I also paint astrology story paintings and portraits .   

          My Dad asked me once when I was about 10 “If you could draw, paint or build anything, any shape, size, color,

of any material, what would it look like?". That question made me never afraid to try anything and to think that if you could imagine anything, it could happen . That question is in my books and  is my teaching philosophy. Whenever I

told my Mom, an artist, any idea she always said “Really? Good ! Go for it“. She never said “Don’t “.I don't say

" don't " either

           I began dancing at age 4 .I taught Ballet, Modern Dance ,Middle Eastern Dance for all ages. I had 3 Dancing

Spirit Studios, produced dance shows throughout New England . I performed  in Hawaii, Mexico, Turkey,NYC and Bali. 

          When I stopped dancing my studio became The Goat Cottage Art Airbnb with our then six goats.I started a

guest art gallery . The walls became a living art gallery story. I encouraged many people to paint who said and

thought they couldn't .Guests amazed me and themselves . 

          In Ft Pierce I was the first artist in residence at the Peacock House www.thepeacockhouseartfoundation.com

for 31/2 months . I shared the residency with sculptress Maria Larsson. Maria,I and an amazing outdoor muralist were featured in the first Peacock House Gala Art Show.     

               I love to inspire students to do or think things they never thought they could and I love to be amazed by

seeing them be amazed at themselves. I am a member of the South Coast Artists and was part of the tour last summer. 

              My favorite quote “You never know, anything is possible, dream ,try hard, never give up, leave no stone un turned “
