About Me

My photo
I have been drawing all my life and have painted in watercolor, acrylic and mixed media for almost 40 years. I do commission work (painting, drawing, graphic design/logos), a few art festivals, and give private lessons to children in watercolor, drawing and mixed media. I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren, especially teaching/encouraging them in some of my hobbies/interests so they may also express their own creativity as they go through life. I also crochet, embroider, cross stitch, sew, quilt, garden, cook, read and play with my dogs and horses. My husband and I attend many classic car events throughout the year together where we show his 1961 Corvette.

A watercolor painting of a Lake at Water Colors

I did this for my daughter, Christine for her new house.

It is a 22X15.5 watercolor painting of her favorite place to visit...Water Colors, a community in Northwest Florida along the Gulf Coast.

My Koty Boy!



This is an 18X24 acrylic I painted recently of my late dog, Koty. He was a red merle Australian Shepherd and my treasured companion for 12 years. It took me well over a year after his death to be able to paint him without breaking down. I feel very confident I have captured the way I want him to be remembered. This painting now hangs where he is the first thing I see each morning when I awaken and the last thing I see before I fall asleep each night - well that is along with my other 3 living Aussies, who are next to me at all times. :)
