My journey into the world of art began over 30 years ago…
Little did I know that when my oldest son, Zachary, was 2 years old, I’d uncover a passion that would bring so much joy and happiness to my life. One day while drawing pictures with Zachary, a friend of mine spotted some talent and urged me to start developing it further.
In the home studio of an extremely talented artist where I was introduced to a community of women who shared my passion. Each artist had different backgrounds, views and styles, but all possessed extreme talent.
Painting became my therapy and a day at the studio painting and bonding with these other artists not only helped me become a better mother and partner, but gave me the patience and perspective I needed to be a better person.
As with many artists, I draw my inspiration from my time with family, through the trips and journeys we have taken around the world together. My paintings are derived from photos of landscapes, food, and intricacies of objects that catch my eye.
Today I continue to pursue my passion with a cooperative of women under the guidance of a fabulous leader. The inspiration and positive critique in this new environment has brought a renaissance to my artistic focus.
My family and friends continue to motivate me to go further and it has been their ongoing encouragement that has given me the confidence to build this online gallery. I hope you enjoy my work, purchase a print, or commission a custom painting created just for you!
