My background in art stems from an art major in high school where I absorbed the basics of color and design and some graphic work.

My art career took shape in Florida in 1994. My daughter Melanie and I attended summer classes in oil painting with Carolyn Sellars in Land of Lakes Florida. I painted with Carolyn in her studio for approximately five years. In that time, My daughters' Lisa and Melanie and my Father all joined the group and became inspired by Ms. Sellars work.

I moved with my husband Gary from Florida to Silver City New Mexico in 2001 and I contracted with Gifted Hands Gallery expanding my painting technique to watercolor by attending workshops in New Mexico.

We moved to Colorado Springs in 2003 and then Fort Morgan Colorado in 2005. My work was displayed in the Studio 909 Salon in Fort Morgan.
I was a member of the Morgan County Arts Council and showed my artwork in several Art Shows winning various ribbons and awards for my work. I assisted my fellow artists in the Morgan County Mural Project.
Photography is my present interest. I was a member of the Shutterbug Photo Club and participated in many community projects.

We have moved presently back to our hometown of Dade City Florida and I am now getting settled in. I am happy to have lived, learned and worked with so many talented Artists. My travels have expanded my interests in portrait, landscapes and wildlife.
