I have been a painter as long as I can remember, as a child in 1st grade being proud of a fall leaf I painted in class and being wise to use the assorted colors of fall and to add the veins of the leaf and other little details while others around me did not. I adore the flow and deep colors of paints and that they’re applied layer by layer slowly building up to a final piece. My favorite painting professor once said my painting’s are like poetry, a story and a flow that brings about curiosity.

I think daily of paintings I wish to create based on experiences and what’s happening at the time. The love of form and line, contrasts and color relationships has my attention where ever I go as with my painting as I generally feel it out and enhance what I can in the process as the paint builds on the canvas in relation to the composition’s progress. My girls are also great artists who got their talents from me,they always tell me to be a painter again, it’s not easy without a clean space/time

My 4 awesome kids would go to Universal and/or Disney for the first time and I could support my ever hard working husband to make paying some of the bills easier. Most importantly by investing a great deal of money into bringing my art back into my life again by getting a space rented for a studio away from the home so that my art could receive my full attention. Make prints and start a festival vendor booth business. Thank you for the opportunity to live as an artist and to support my family!
