Art became my life’s desire at a very early age. I was determined to be an artist,
so when the time came to make adult choices, I chose to enter the world of

as it led to a 3 0 year career in the business of creating for others.
Upon retiring from my career, I picked up my brushes again to continue the
creative process, but this time it was to paint for the pure pleasure of
painting. I start my process by studying my subjects and knowing
them well. Telling their story on canvas or paper is a big, and
important, part of my creative process.

And, I still find beauty everywhere.
So I paint.
