Biography
I am a life-time resident of the Oklahoma City area, and a self-taught artist. Since the early 1960’s I have participated in numerous art shows, specializing in scratchboard art. My husband and I have traveled extensively throughout Africa, Europe, Russia, and the South Pacific, which has given me a myriad of interesting subjects to paint and draw.
My retirement as Chief of the Commander’s Protocol Office at Tinker AFB in March 2002, has given me more time to pursue my artistic endeavors. Since then, I have been painting mainly in watercolor and have discovered this is definitely my favorite medium. I still continue with scratchwork, but I now use clayboard, which allows me to add watercolor to this traditionally “black and white” medium. I enjoy painting a very wide variety of subjects and consider anything to be fair game for my paper and clayboard.
Being a native Oklahoman of Choctaw ancestry, and having grown up in rural Oklahoma, right next door to rodeo performers, I especially enjoy painting rodeo, cowboy life, and Native American themes.
I am a member of the Oklahoma Art Guild, Edmond Art Association, and Oklahoma Watermedia Association. I've participated in the Festival of Arts in Oklahoma City, as well as the OCCC Arts Festival Oklahoma, Downtown Edmond Art Festivals, Red Earth Art Shows, and Oklahoma Art Guild National Shows – all juried shows.
I am represented by three galleries: The Howell Gallery in Oklahoma City, Simply Oklahoma Gallery, Guthrie, and Indian River Gallery, Desert Passage Shops, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“International Artist” magazine selected one of my paintings to be featured in one of their books. The title of the book is “How Did You Paint That? 100 Ways to Paint Still Life’s and Florals Vol. II.”
In addition to art, I enjoy photography, travel, gardening, cooking, and hold an Extra Class Amateur [...]

"Clint Watson has made it very easy for artists to bring their work to the public.
Obviously the internet is an important marketing component for the artist.
For a luddite like me FASO is the way to go.
There is always a support team available, we get to talk to real people to solve our web site needs.
I don't have the skills or time to develop a website. I should paint not spend time on a computer."
"A website is one of the most valuable tools to market paintings for artists of our time.
I recommend FASO to every artist who is still struggling with all the difficulties in creating and maintaining their website.
FASO is so well designed it will show your paintings professionally while still being extremely user friendly.
I feel bad for all the artists not using FASO yet."
"My art career has really been growing by leaps and bounds since I've been doing more with the website.
So thanks for dragging me into the high tech world kicking and screaming. Now all I need is a secretary"
"Your software is amazing! Thank you.
I just put a new painting onto my web site and it was so easy.
have made the job a piece of cake. Good job."
