Painting has become my passion and life is my inspiration.

The flow and vibrancy of watercolor
offers me a visual enhancement of my life!

Even though I have been painting for a short time of my life, it has been a life long desire and dream. 
The Saint Louis Watercolor Society has fueled my passion by offering avenues in which to pursue this
artistic path with so many opportunities to learn by not only by getting my brush wet but also by getting
my feet wet as an artist.

While living in the St Louis area, I have taken some inspiring classes by local and talented artist/teachers
as well as several nationally known artists/teachers such as John Salminen, Sue Archer and
Richard Stephens.

Many of my paintings are inspired by my life, loves and pleasures. Whether I choose to paint realistically or
abstractly depends on the moment and vision of that piece and sometimes that changes!  While not
painting, I keep busy with gardening, family and volunteering in the community.
