About

I started painting about 15 years ago, taking classes and private lessons locally and attending seminars.

​

​My journey into art has been evolutionary, evolving as I have evolved as a person. I have always found art and the whole creative process to be relaxing and therapeutic, my mood dictating my work.

​I drew a lot as a teenager and looking back I think being the oldest of twelve children it was an escape from the chaos that was my family life. As an adult life got busy and I lost myself in being a wife, mother, and businesswoman leaving little room in my world for art.

​

Now in retirement I have rediscovered “me” through art. I am evolving once again and once again finding value and benefit in art, but my medium now is oil paint. The subject matter, colors, and textures as well as their placement on my canvas reveals pieces of me to myself and to those who view my paintings.

Since arriving on the professional scene i, I’ve worked hard to capture and intrigue the art community. I gather much of my inspiration from The History of Fredericksburg

 

​I will continue to create, and I will continue to evolve, discovering more about myself and the world.
