Artist Statement

Painting for me is my way of expressing gratitude for the gifts nature provides us. Being creative opens up my heart and allows more inspiration to flow into my work. I love to paint subjects that include landscapes, animals, skyscapes, dreamscapes and also abstracts in various mediums, with oil painting and alcohol inks being my favorite , due to the richness of color I can achieve. I have been painting since I was a child and took my first oil painting lessons at the age of fifteen. My mother and grandfather were also artists so I was fortunate to be encouraged early on to be creative. I hope that those who view my paintings are uplifted. It is my goal to help others feel the connection with nature that I have felt through viewing my artwork. I am happy to share it with you!

I studied art at Cottey College, the University of Southern Indiana, and also attended art classes at The Atelier in Minneapolis. I teach painting classes at Isothermal Community College and out of my home in Tryon, NC.
