Since I was a little girl, I’ve enjoyed painting and photography while traveling with my parents and growing up in the mountains of Colorado. My enjoyment of painting birds and wildlife continues to this day.
For the last four years I have devoted my full time to painting and photography. Recently I have followed the advice of my husband and friends to enter my paintings and photographs in art exhibits and juried art shows. In 2006, I began exhibiting my work in galleries and fine art shows in Michigan.
My goal is to expand my skills as an artist as I continue to enjoy the world of painting and photography.
