I began my art education in high school in Illinois where I studied with Leon Eugene Wright. After living in various parts of the United States and abroad with my military husband, I elected to make my home in Aiken, South Carolina where I continued my training with several local artists, including Albin Beyer at USC-Aiken and Ed Rice at Gertrude Herbert Art Institute in Augusta, Georgia.
My work hangs in private and public collections in several states including South Carolina. I am a former member and Past President of the Aiken Artist Guild. Presently I am a member of Left Bank Art Association which was co-founded by my first art teacher.
