"My career realignment, after 25 years of teaching art in the public schools, was to become a full time artist. Having painted since I was little enough to grasp a crayon, it is not surprising. Since moving to the Western Slope in 1995 I have painted with watercolor, pastel and oil—and some acrylic—many places that my dog and my Isuzu traveled. Plein air (painting outside—rain and bugs included) is my favorite place to be.

​

As words are formed by design, I gather a greater understanding of how my art evolves. Someone (who knows) told me I am a master of color. Painting is just another medium. I do series of paintings about dogs in the west, and cats, plus a series of family history. I feel more in touch with my history and my family as I dig through old photos, research the past, and put it all on canvas or pastel paper."
