I believe we are all artists by means of personal expression. Our journeys are to
discover what intrigues us, explore the possibilities, create and share with others. If I can
lift someones spirit and bring to them a moment of joy through the language of painting,
then I have succeeded in communicating from the heart which is my
goal.
I grew up in the beautiful mountains of Northeastern, CA. raising animals, observing the
intricacies of nature. My Grandmother led me to appreciate the beauty of my
surroundings, growing a variety of flowers, sharing with me her fondness of them which
soon became my own. My mother encouraged painting and drawing came easy for me,
from there I experimented with different mediums from oils, pastels, to watercolors. Those
little nudges of encouragement from the women in my life were a great inspiration for me.
I was always intrigued by creative people through out my childhood and wanted to explore
my own creative energy, through the channel of art.
I am a essentially a self taught painter and enjoy studying works and reading about
the thought processes of other artists I admire. I live in the Palm Springs area with my
husband Greg and have a beautiful daughter named Brittany.
