I am a self taught mixed media folk artist residing in Central Florida, USA. I have experience in acrylic, ink, watercolor, oil, photography, Photoshop, clay, sewing, and doll making. However, my first creative love is acrylic folk art portrait painting. I began my creative career in 2007 with a lesson from my mother, who has painted for years. From there I have spent many hours learning, experimenting, taking courses, reading book after book, trading secrets with fellow artists, and flexing my creative muscles.more
