Webster studied painting at The Slade School of Fine Art in London and recently completed her latest study of abstraction and "The Power of Color" under Pat Lipsky at The Art Students League.
Webster's abstract paintings started during visits to Amagansett, Shelter Island and Nantucket. Her work reflects her passion for the sky and ocean around New York City and a long love affair with the works of Turner, Whistler and Homer.
Her figurative paintings often raise social issues against an unexpected stunning back drop of color. In the tumultuous world in 2017 Webster believes that "beauty is a choice".
