One of myfirst memories was of drawing a horse. Over the years I continued to draw and paint. I was mainly self taught while working in the medical field and raising two wonderful daughters. I had to take an early retirement due to an accident and realized my true passion was applying paint to canvas. I then started taking lessons from Jackie Ivey-Weaver and then enrolled in Gordon college under the tutelage of Marlin Adams.

My art is influenced by my appreciation of God's creation that challenges me to interpret and portray the unending variety of nature each time I stand behind my easel. I feel as though I have only scratched the surface of my art and look forward to more learning through workshops, seminars and God's own hand guiding me.
