 I first decided that I would like to teach others so I went to school to receive a degree in art education. I met and married my wonderful husband in 1981. In 1990 we decided to
travel with my art and that is what we started doing, first small shows and now going to areas where people really appreciate art, mainly in the Virginia and Maryland and now expanding to the south. For five years I sold my pastels seriously and offered them as lithographs. Now, my work has expanded to watercolors. It was not until I began watercolors that I sold my original paintings. I have often had people ask me about my photographs. I actually start painting where most watercolor artists stop, going back to create the finest detail. I draw my inspirations for my paintings from my experiences in life. No, I do not paint what I feel, I paint so that I do not have to feel at all. That may not make sense but when people look at my paintings, they do the same thing. They get lost and forget they have any problems at all. That, to me is an accomplishment, to paint something just like it is and have people get so much peace from it.
Today I am a self published artist, scanning and printing my own fine art giclees. When you buy something from this web site, it comes directly from me, the artist.
I am a firm believer in that we are our life's experiences. With my painting, you see me grow from my experiences and also see that I pay attention to those around me.
