“I believe that GOD inspires in each of us
a desire to leave His world a better place than when we found it 
and in my case at a very young age,
I knew He was leading me into the creative arts.

For me Creating is almost as essential as breathing.”
​
I had an innate compulsion
 to re-create the beauty I saw around me.
Living on a farm had no small part in my inspiring me .

One day when I was about 6 years old,
 I remember simply picking up a stick
and making my mark
in the sandy soil of east Texas.

VOILA !

I was hooked! 


LIFE presented a necessary detour from my full time study of art. due to
graduating college, marriage, teaching, and having children,
 
Armed with a degree in education from Baylor University,
I began to supplement the family income and raise our two daughters.
Before long, thankfully, a world of new creativity suddenly
and providentially opened up to me.
I was presented with an opportunity to study interior design,
and work with some talented professionals
as I built my own practice.
For over 30 years, designing interiors provided me
a wonderful way to express my creativity
and practice thinking outside the box.
 
Even during those years,  I studied art by taking many painting workshops. 
       I developed my own style while observing and absorbing elements 
of each teacher's specialty.
. Finally,  I took the plunge into the unknown of full time art.
What a joy this ride is proving to be. 

High color, playfulness, and bold, expressive strokes
perfectly describe my ever growing style.

My subject matter is literally all over the place -
taken from my imagination, and travel reference photos.

Many of my pieces marry abstraction and impressionism. I have been fortunate to be included in various area and local gallery shows, where I have taken home some awesome awards.
I have donated my works to many charitable organizations including the
Optimist Club, Mission Granbury, Furry Friends Fundraiser, Forward Training, 
and others.

A dream came true when I was invited to hold a successful solo exhibit.
My work can be found in private collections from coast to coast.
