I have always enjoyed exploring the world of visual art and have painted for many years. My style has developed through study and experimentation. I feel the learning process never ends.

I am a native of Indiana and have I enjoyed a K-6 teaching career in several states and Ontario, Canada.
My work has been exhibited in homes, offices and art shows in the US and Canada. I have taken classes and workshops from many artists whom I admire and who have influenced my work.

I love bold color and am intrigued with patterns and designs that often show up in my work.
I work with various types of media, but my favorite is watercolor. Watercolor is exciting because of the way the paint moves with water – often in surprising ways. I love seeing what the paint wants to do and following its lead.
