"When denied coffee, how does a java addict get her fix? This was my predicament, proprietor of Coffee Art & Prints in Philadelphia. When I became pregnant with my daughter, Madeline, I decided to forgo my daily dose of caffeine for health reasons. Nine months and one baby later, I discovered that in my denial I had brewed up a collection of wonderful paintings depicting my obsession with cups o’joe and coffee culture.

Five years have passed, and I’m still devoted to painting coffee related art. But it isn’t the only subject matter I find fascinating; I also use coffee as my medium. I’ve arrived at this stage after painting professionally for over seven years."
