BIOGRAPHY:
After a long career in social work and banking, I was ready to devote my life to art. I have been drawing and painting throughout my life, including working with teachers where I have lived in Pittsburgh, Charlotte, and Baton Rouge.
Upon moving to Dallas in 2007, I took up ceramics, drawing and life drawing and still continue with further studies in these disciplines. Brookhaven Community College is well known for its art programs; there I found my ultimate love for watercolor, collage and ceramics. I was able to be learning and working with some of the finest teachers in these disciplines.
I learned to appreciate nature and its beauty and learned to express this appreciation by combining my loves for ceramics and painting. Every piece of work is an experiment to stretch my imagination and sometimes failures bring me into a new and more exciting direction. Art and nature are constantly evolving and so am I!
