Whether an interesting face, a place I was fortunate to visit, the grace of a dancer's movement, the beauty of nature and flowers, or the more intimate parts of my life, I am inspired to create art.
Some of my pieces reflect my love of flowers and animals, which developed as a young child, others tell stories - from getting married to becoming a mom to becoming an artist. My work portrays a sense of movement and the people, places and experiences that "move me".
I am married and have two grown sons. I have never given up on the opportunities to create art. I am the Marketing Specialist at Lincoln Land Community College Foundation and a
freelance artist.
