I have always had an interest in art either drawing or painting. I took my first drawing class at a community college in Dallas and later received my Associate Degree in Art & Sciences. I have had lessons from accomplished artists: Dr. Zhohar in Dallas who taught portrait classes, Kim Hill and others who inspired me along the way.. I enjoy workshops because each one is a learning experience. I've been to San Miguel de Allende and painted from live models. Oil is my preference, but I am doing some work in Acrylics now. To me art is an excellent way to express your feelings, and I consider it a privilege to share it with others.
