One Of My Happiest Childhood Memories

is of an old #2 pencil, pieces of scrap paper, and I drawing to my hearts content.

As I grew older that desire never faded ---- Yet it wasn�t until my children left the nest that I again picked up that old #2 pencil, found my children�s Watercolor supplies, and ventured off to my first watercolor class, taught by the very talented Jack Flynn. Thus began my exciting journey into the wonderful world of watercolor.

Today I paint in a loosely realistic style. My paintings are mostly created from my photographs, which allow me to capture a fleeting moment of strong light and shadow, thereby creating abstract shapes for my flower, landscape, and portrait paintings.

I have exhibited and received awards in local and national shows, and I am currently a member of the Academic Artist�s Association. Becoming a painter has taught me to see and appreciate the beauty of the wonderful world that surrounds me.
