I am a self-taught artist, who has taken many classes and workshops to improve my art and learn new techniques. I strongly believe that everyone is born creative; they just need a spark to light their flame. I am very passionate about my art and could not imagine having a life without “doing art”. I paint mainly in watercolor and acrylics; but have also used oils. My other passions are collage, mixed media, fiber arts, and beads. I design, make, and sell my own jewelry (sometimes making my own beads out of glass or clay).
I have sold my work through various shops and galleries for the past 15 yrs., and presently teach classes at bead shops and art centers. At the present time; you can find my work on these sites:
