At the tender age of eight I visited The Nelson Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City with my Aunt Gladys. This was a big deal for a young girl growing up in a small rural agricultural town several states away! As a result my life journey toward the painter I am today began. For a time I painted exclusively with watercolor, a perfect match for my life as an art educator and frequent traveler. Lately I am enjoying a rediscovery of oils. I simply love both. My paintings are attempts to express a reverence for the natural world through plant portraits, trees, and landscapes in an abstract realism style of my own. The passion I have for painting is strongly linked to an enthusiasm for all things outdoors. Nature compels me. My hope through the paintings I do is to reveal and share some of what I enjoy in naturre.
