I was born in Indianapolis, Indiana and lived there until 2005. After 3 years in Miami, moved to Delray Beach, FL and here, I have been able to explore art in ways I have dreamed about for years.
Delray Beach is a great place for artists and East Atlantic Avenue is filled with art galleries. Festivals occur throughout the year. It is a fun place to live and work.
Always interested in Art, I dabbled in it off and on through my life. In 1985, I was busy being a mother of 2 daughters and stopped painting. I did not pick up a paint brush again until 2007. While living in Miami, I painted flowers at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden and from there, I continued to paint. I enjoy painting nature and animals best. I paint with oils because it allows me to feel the work and the flow of the paint. I love the bold colors that oils provide. I’m looking forward to painting whatever intrigues me and makes me happy.
My work is currently displayed at The Arts Arena Gallery
