Travis Park is located in the Bexar County city of San Antonio in the U.S. state of Texas. The park was once part of the original Alamo Mission in San Antonio at its current location, and is situated across the street from the Saint Anthony Hotel. Francisco Garcia purchased the land in 1819. In 1851, the land was acquired by Samuel Augustus Maverick. Upon his deathin 1870, Maverick deeded the property to the city of San Antonio, which originally named it Travis Plaza, in honor of Alamo commandant William Barret Travis. In 1953, Maverick's granddaughter Rena Maverick Green spearheaded the San Antonio Conservation Society's successful campaign to save the facility from having an underground parking lot built beneath it. Many improvements have been made to the park over the years, through the generous donations of time and money from public entities and private individuals. The site currently hosts an annual outdoor jazz festival.

My oil paintings are a vibrant expression of the feminine. I use radiant colors, often found in nature, to interpret eroticism, burgeoning growth, beauty, nature, and the human form. I am highly influenced by symbolism and duality of meaning. Sprinkled throughout my work are subtleties that add nuance to more obvious meaning. From an early age I felt a calling to color, beauty and the feminine form. Born in Ohio, my family roots reach to Germany, Hungary and England. As a child I spent hours on the floor of my grandfather’s music room as Enrico Caruso serenaded me from the Victrola. I gazed in awe at the tall bookcases, art-covered walls and my grandfather’s art nouveau postcard collection. This world of refinement and beauty left a deep impression on me. Then, when I was six years old, after corrective eye surgery, I awoke to discover a world of darkness. Although I eventually healed and regained my sight, this traumatic experience instilled in me a deep appreciation for both beauty and color. My oil paintings are devoted to beauty especially in its feminine form. I seek to create a visual feast with generous use of vivid colors. My work explores my fascination with the feminine, eroticism, and the fragility of existence. To create my work, I find inspiration from images in magazines, contemporary photography, book illustrations, symbols, and shapes found in nature. I select, re-shape, and research to create paintings that guide my viewer to the wisdom, strength, and beauty of the eternal feminine found inside each one of us. As a painter, I’m interested in what my subject matter reveals about my own journey but also what it stirs in the hearts of my audience.
