I am an evolving artist . I dream in color. I wake up in the middle of the night thinking about my next art project.
Art is my love and my passion.
I started painting watercolors as an adult when my children were very young. What started out as a creative outlet, turned into an infatuation with color. I spent every spare minute painting. I obsessed over light, shadows and details.
After painting watercolors for about 20 years, I took up oils. I needed a new challenge. It came relatively easy to me after painting watercolors for so many years. Oils were rich and exciting. Over the past few years I have studied fiber art. Sometimes I paint. Sometimes I dye clothing.
I live in Florida with beautiful beaches, gorgeous tropical foliage, and magnificent nature. I also spend time in the splendor of Western North Carolina. Living in both of these places gives me a rich pallet to work from.
As long as I live, I will never stop making art. It brings me serenity in a way that nothing else does. It grounds me and makes me complete. As my art continues to evolve, so do I.
