Welcome to my little corner of the world! Thanks for stopping by to see my art.

I am a free spirited, adventurous soul who lives life in color! My creative interests are eclectic, driven by what inspires me in the moment, so you will find a variety of subjects and styles in my shop.

I was a late bloomer when it came to discovering my passion for art. I started painting at around age 48 and have been making up for lost time ever since. I have explored several different mediums, and enjoy trying new things and experimenting. However, acrylics are my favorite. I often use them along with collage and other materials to create mixed media pieces.

I like to paint a variety of things, including landscapes, faces, figures, and abstracts, but I always come back to florals. My style is loose, imperfect, and slightly abstract. Rather than an accurate representation, I like to think I capture the essence of my subjects, and the emotions that they inspire.

People often describe my art as joyful, and that is one of my goals as an artist - to spread a little joy in the world.

I am a Kansas native, but moved to beautiful Table Rock Lake, near Shell Knob, MO, after retiring from 34 years in education. .

My life is now filled with art, family, lake life, and traveling with the love of my life.
