I am an artist specializing in realistic artwork in oil paint and acrylics. I've been painting for over 30 years. Those who see my work are interested to learn that I taught myself through private study.
I like to explore the challenges found in all types of subjects, such as portraits, figures, landscapes, still life, and wildlife or animals. Working in my studio I have produced artwork in all these subjects, many of which were commissioned pieces for clients. In the past couple of years I've taken my paints out of the studio and into the great outdoors to paint "Plein Air" landscapes.
For 6 years I painted murals and decorative elements in Wisconsin. Clients hired me to produce one-of-kind artwork on the surfaces of their homes and businesses. It was a fun, challenging, and rewarding career.
In 2006 my husband & I moved to South Central Kentucky and my artistic focus has shifted back to studio work and plein air. I am thrilled with all the potential subjects in and around my new environment.
2008 - and we moved again! To South Carolina. How things change!
