About me

I was born in Indiana 61 yrs ago in the month of June and came to the Southwest as a toddler w/ my family. We have all been here ever since. I'm semi-retired from the 'real world'; a mother of three grown children; homeowner; a dog owner (a sweet Keeshond and a very obstinate Min Pin). I spend much of my time painting, making things with found objects, puttering around in my garden, doing minor home repair and remodeling projects and working part time.

My work

I paint in oils, acrylics or mixed media. I draw with graphite, charcoal and oil stick. I've also done some printmaking and ceramics but no longer do those as I don't have the tools to do them.
