BIOGRAPHY
My longtime interest in the arts led me to drawing classes at Sinclair Community College in the 1990's. I was inspired to begin watercolor painting at that time and delighted to learn more and eager to experiment with a variety of different mediums. Which include exploring watercolors, acrylic paint, acrylic paint, acrylic pour and yupo paper.
This gave me an opportunity to spend time enjoying an activity which I had always wanted to learn more about.
In 1998, my mother became ill and I had to discontinue my painting to care for her. During 2002, I studied watercolor painting and thoroughly enjoyed learning to use a different medium under the guidance of Trish McKinney.
I have continued painting with watercolors, Liquid Acrylic and Acrylic, Acrylic Pour and other mixed media; however; I enjoy exploring different directions in the world of art.
