My interest in art came early. My childhood was spent coloring, painting by number, and other crafts. I grew up in a small town in central Indiana and have college degrees in education. My career included teaching grades K-6 in various states and Canada. Places I’ve lived and people in my life have been the greatest influences in my art. Wisconsin inspires me in all four seasons. I started painting soon after starting my first job - first with oils then I discovered watercolor. I never looked back. Often, I incorporate papers, paints, inks, and fibers. Patterns and borders are often seen in my pieces. I find it hard to be timid with color. I am largely self-taught but have enhanced my skills and expanded my range through many classes with outstanding artists. I am often inspired by books and might find my next subject in a science book.
Through my paintings I explore my diverse interests and experiences.
My paintings reflect the places I’ve lived, my personality, and interests. My subject matter is chosen because it moves me. This means that I choose the subject, composition, colors, and medium. My work can be realistic, abstract, whimsical, or mystical - I am in charge. I am inspired by garden catalogs, travel, art books and even my own backyard. I have studied with many artists that I admire. My style has been shaped by their ideas and techniques I believe learning is never ending.
I am a native Hoosier and have an M.S. in elementary education. I have lived in many places but Waunakee has been home for a long time.
My paintings have found homes in the U.S. and Canada. Locally, my art work is displayed at the Waunakee SSM clinic and at the Waunakee public library.
