I LOVE BEING AN ARTIST!!!!
My hope is that my love of painting gives you happiness and a smile. I get great joy from painting and I hope that comes across to you and you can feel that joy, too. I have suffered from bipolar disorder since my teens so when I have times of happiness, painting is a way for me to express it. I still believe everyone is creative. You just need to be still, hear it, feel it and let it flow out. We were made to be creators.
I am always looking for a new challenge, whether it is a new style, medium or technique. In Oklahoma I had my own craft business. Then we moved to Georgia where I was able to run an art studio and gallery with a dear friend. Such happy years. I taught a children's class and it was amazing to see such freedom of talent. After living in Texas for the past few years and not being able to promote my art it is wonderful to be able to sell my paintings through Etsy.
I keep up my training by studying under other artist and attending workshops. Even at age 62 it is fantastic to keep learning.
