Artist Bio
The natural life around me has a way of tickling my eyes
and senses. Flowers, wildlife, color, and light all have
the elements I need to create beautiful things.
I love to draw, paint and photograph what I think is
beautiful and can be turned into the kind of art that
expresses my interpretation at that moment in time. I
am excited about my work at this time in my life.
I hope you will be too!
Through my art, what I hope to do is create and share pieces that
excite and make you, the viewer, happy and let you appreciate the
elements of nature with the art I present.
I was born into a military family that traveled a lot. I loved it even though
I had to say goodbye to friends and make new friends every few years.
To pass much of my time, I liked to draw flowers even as early as about five or six years old when we lived in Long Island. I spent many hours on the dining room table just drawing to my heart’s content. I don't remember playing a lot of dolls or even watching T.V., just drawing and occasionally, lying out in my backyard on a nice spring or summer day looking at the clouds rolling by trying to see what I could see in them and then rising above them to see what was past them.
College bombed out with an art instructor that preached quantity NOT quality, so I left my major and ended up with a BFA in English Lit and a minor credits in music. Music is another love of mine, hence marrying a musician. Things happen for a reason and I guess I just wasn't meant to get that degree in art. For some it really matters and pays off, but for me? I feel there's a higher force in control of the helm and I just go with the flow. So here I am now and I have no regrets, other than to wish I had told that instructor how wrong he was about his philosophy.
I am married almost 21 years now to my beloved best friend and husband Scott and enjoy raising our lovely three children, David Kyle, 19, Sarah Joyce almost 14, and Ian Joseph almost 13. We are an artist/musical family. It gets pretty crazy here sometimes.
Scott is a very gifted musician in which I hope everyone gets to hear his music someday. He's working on projects that I hope will be featured here on this web-site eventually!
I teach art out of my home, I am in my eighth year now, go to the links to see my school. I try to produce as much art as I have time for. I have started painting murals and take commissions, which also has been an exciting adventure. My days are full but it's a good kind of fulfillment! Please stop by when you can to watch my world grow!
Email me - I would love to hear from you!
