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.
