My life has taken me from my Kansas childhood to Nevada, California and now
 Mountain View, Arkansas, where my husband and I built our dream home and art
 studio on top of Dodd Mountain.

Art to me is not a hobby; it is a necessary expression of the creativity
 that God gives to everyone. Whether it is a landscape, still life, or
 floral, each of my paintings contains the passion for color and energy that
 I see. My painting technique is my "very own" style.

 I have exhibited and sold my art in galleries across the state, including
 Little Rock, Jonesboro, Hot Springs, and Fairfield Bay, among others. In
Mountain View you can see my art at the Arkansas Craft Guild showroom on
Main Street.

I have studied with such master’s as Burridge, McGill, and Swinney on
locations in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Charleston, South Carolina, Raleigh,
North Carolina, as well as Fayetteville and the Art Center in Little Rock

 I’m an active member of the Midsouthern Watercolor Society, the North
Central Artist League of Fairfield Bay, the North Central Art Foundation for
Arts & Education, the Arkansas Craft Guild and the Mountain View Art Guild.

 I look forward to your visit to my studio where you’ll see a variety of
subjects in various mediums, such as oil, acrylic, watercolor and collage.
While I’m demonstrating, I’ll invite you to pick up a brush and join me in
the “joy of creative painting”.
