“I was introduced to a world of creativity my first day I attended Japanese school. Growing up in a military family moving from place to place I never stopped drawing & painting. I met my husband in school here in Tucson and became an Art teacher while raising two boys. Leaving the public school system after 23 years, I now teach adult leisure classes and have young artist classes in my home studio. I’m not sure which I enjoy more painting or teaching! I am an award winning signature member of the Southern Arizona Watercolor Guild.”

“I have been painting since I was a child and find it to be my comfort place. Painting has always calmed me down and inspired me. There is a place in my head that lets me dream and create and the process of painting organizes me. Now, I paint whimsy that makes me happy. When I painted for shows, my subject matter was more abstract, but now I paint the little butterfly on a flower or a quail sitting on a cactus. Life has become so dear and special that small things are special now.”

“When I show my work, the most fulfilling thing is to watch as it brings forth reactions and feelings: a brief moment of nostalgia, an emotional memory, a sense of resignation and acceptance. Even an expression of distaste or rejection can be satisfying, because I know I touched something inside.”
