From a young age, I found solace and expression through drawing, adorning any surface I could find with my creative endeavors. Despite early encouragement from adults in my life to pursue art professionally, I chose a different path, one focused on nurturing and raising four marvelous children who have blessed me with ten grandchildren.

It wasn’t until later in life, when one of my daughters enrolled me in an oil painting class, that my passion for art was reignited with an intensity I hadn’t experienced since childhood. The moment I picked up the brush, I knew I had discovered my true calling. Each stroke on canvas became a journey of rediscovery and self-expression, a testament to the joy and fulfillment art brings me.

My artistic journey is a reflection of life’s unexpected twists and turns, each phase contributing uniquely to my creative voice. Drawing from personal experiences and the beauty of everyday life, I strive to capture moments of wonder and emotion in my paintings. Through vibrant colors, textures, and forms, I invite viewers to share in my passion and connect with the stories I weave onto canvas.
