My art? My love! I am pretty much self taught. My Dad was the one who literally drove me to beginning my first watercolor painting. His home in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, in his hobby room, setting up a blue colander with tomatoes fresh out of his garden in it. The results? Pretty rough, pretty amateurish, but it was mine and finished and I thought I had completed a masterpiece! Onward and moving forward never stopped. Continued with a drawing class in Lewiston Idaho at a college there and that boosted my interest and knew my wonderful Dad saw in me something I never saw myself.

My home, now in St George, UT (formerly resided in WA State) has been a complete delight with totally opposite scenery and backdrops of pure jaw- dropping beauty in every direction. Red giant terrain against the blue sky has sparked a whole new love affair with my surroundings and inspiration to paint new delights.

Also, member of the Dixie Watercolor society and the Southern Utah Art Guild
