 Growing up in a family of painters, it was not surprising that I was only nine years old when my Grandmother entered me in my first juried show. Life as a child was a joyful blend of unrestricted creativity and unconditional love. Art overflowed the small house my grandparents lived in. Artists constantly came and went, and every medium imaginable was held within its walls at some time.
In 1994 I moved to Loveland Colorado where I immersed myself in classes at The Loveland Academy of Fine Arts, taking thousands of hours of study from some of the top artists in the world.
I found my niche in sculpture, and it wasn't long before my work was held in numerous private collections, and I had been accepted into juried shows across the United States, including showings at the Palm Springs Desert Museum and the prestigious North American Sculpture Exhibition.
In 2008, after overcoming cancer, I realized I needed color in my life, almost as a form of celebration for being alive. So I put away the brown clay and began to paint.
I love to paint. Often the sun rises and sets before I even realize the day is gone... so absorbed have I been in the process of creating. I love using color, and shapes to express myself in a way that brings joy to me and I hope, to those who view my art.
