It is my quest in life to always challenge myself, never getting too comfortable with what I know. This keeps my mind alert, alive, and ever growing. I love learning and working with a variety of art mediums and subject matters. I’m a former middle school teacher, with an art and science degree, and continue my love of teaching by teaching both adults and home school students at my home. I have won many awards for my art including best of show and have sold my art throughout the country.
I paint both realistically and abstract but I mostly love to exaggerate colors. Colors in a painting are like spices in food. I do commissioned art…landscapes, florals, etc….including portraits. I do unique photography shoots. I also make jewelry because it gives me a venue to work with the beautiful rocks and stones that I so dearly loved to bust open in my driveway as a child. I am intrigued with the colors and textures of stones. I use sterling silver and plate with gold on most pieces for those with metal allergies.
I grew up locally, in Mason County, and although I love venturing outside the area, I always love returning home. I live near the beautiful Hood Canal with my wonderful husband, have three grown children, and 6 beautiful grandchildren.
