My formal training began more than 30 years ago studying Fine Art and Special Education at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California. Upon moving to Old Saybrook, Connecticut in 1996 I began painting professionally.
A near fatal head-on automobile collision with a drunk driver left me with an uncertain future in 2009. As part of my rehabilitation program I began painting ocean and marsh scenes reflecting the beauty of the East Coast Shoreline communities. For me creating these scenes has demonstrated tremendous healing properties, I call them my “healing waters” paintings.

”Perryhas the unique ability to capture the mood, character, or underlying nature of a person or setting developing her painting from there. She moves beyond painting parts and forms, and manages to paint a true snapshot of the essence in that instant.” Leah Lopez Schmalz: Arts Writer, Harbor News.
Bright Beginning
I strive to make an emotional connection through my work, to move an individual in such a way that my creation becomes a part of them. Each time a person responds to my work in that way I realize why I paint.
