Pictures have always danced in my head. Sometimes a dream will stick with me evoking feelings, even messages, that cry out to be released through my hands. As a young teen, I painted in acrylics with a little training, and my early visions are in that medium. Now I have discovered graphite pencil drawing. I thrill at the breath of life a picture inhales as the layers build. Sometimes I mix pencil with pastels. Every picture is a learning experience. It is my hope that you hear the voice in my pictures.
I am the mother of 10 children, half of whom are now adults. My husband, children and I share our home in beautiful rural Tennessee with our beloved Rottweiler, Genevieve.
