About Me

I have lived in the beautiful Northwest for 40 years. My husband Kevin and my son, Jonathan, love outdoor activities here in Oregon.

I have loved art since I was a child. I remember getting a Red Ribbon on a drawing I did of my sister, brother and myself, when I was in Kindergarten.

My mother was an oil painter and sculpturist. I always admired her artwork.

In 2011, I met my art instructor, Diane Noyes, and studied art under her for 6 years until she passed into heaven, April 15, 2017, at the age of 94. I miss her greatly.

Each time I start a piece of artwork, I pray that God will inspire me to show the personality of the animal or person that I am working on through their eyes.

I am looking forward to my next God Inspired portrait!
