I am a native Floridian currently residing in Lake City, Florida with my husband and I am a self-taught artist. Art or some related form of creativity has always had an important place in my life from an early age. After spending 10 plus years in the administrative field, I was finally able to direct my attention to art after moving to Lake City in 1986. My earliest works are focused on landscapes in oil or acrylic in a fairly realistic style. I find much inspiration in views from my own property located across from a farm or trips to the mountains and seashore and I continue to develop my landscape series through new experiences. Venturing into the more abstract mixed-media, I recently began creating a loose colorful and highly textured body of work that I find unique and extremely enjoyable and I feel I've achieved success in this. The many colors in the layers and transparent areas are visible among the many textures and painterly shapes of these depth-filled works. My experimentation contributes to my enthusiasm and never-ending discovery of inspiration in surprising places. My paintings are currently exhibited at SoOh Fine Art Gallery in Lincoln, Nebraska, the Art and Craft Shop at Stephen Foster Park in White Springs, Florida and are in a number private collections throughout the United States, Canada and England. I am a founding member of the Art League of North Florida, have recently been juried into the American Society of Landscape Painters as a signature member and the Worldwide Women Artists Group,as well as being a member of other online art groups.
