I attended William Jewell College
and Southeast Missouri State University where I obtained a degree in
art. Raising four children took a precedence over art until
2001 when I turned my attention to watercolor. Although
watercolor is a challenging medium, I love the transparent
characteristic of the medium and enjoy the element of surprise as
the pigment spreads with the wetness of the paper. It is my
desire that my art will bring joy to those who view
it.
