I've been "doing art" of some form my entire life. Growing up with 2 siblings, I was simply the sister who was always drawing.
At age 34 I was asked to teach high school art. I have no college education -- I was scared out of my mind. That is, until I got through the 1st 10 minutes of the job and realized I was going to love teaching!
Since then I've continued teaching painting classes for more than 40 years, including courses through the University Of Alaska during my family's 12 years of living in AK.
My work has won many awards in local, National and International competition. Years ago I gained Signature Membership in CWS (CO Watercolor Society) and RMNWS (Rocky Mountain National Watermedia Society.
I've illustrated two Alaska children's books (please check my Bio page for more info.)
My plan is to continue happily painting until my last day on the planet :-)

National Art Exhibition ($1,500 Cash Award) ----- Colorado Watercolor Society Annual State Show, Honorable Mention and "Peoples Choice" award -----PPWS International Watermedia XVII, Honorable Mention and "People's Choice" Award

"Yesterday's Beauty" in 2007 won 1st Place - Zonta Show (Artful Women) - ( Both my sisters and I agree that if our mom had lived to 100, she would have looked like this. She posed for me at age 90, and I used my "artistic license" to accentuate age, as I wasn't actually intent on painting a portrait of her)

"Interval "- This painting won "Best Of Show" 2008 in the "Zonta Show" (Artful Women) .... "Meininger Award", 2009 17th Annual National Exhibition, Western Co. Watercolor Society --- Honorable Mention 2009, Louisville Art Association National Fine Arts Exhibition. Both figures in this painting were accomplished using photos of my mom.
