A little about Me

Nature has always held a fascination for me.  As a kid I was often tramping through the woods and wading in creeks and ponds looking for interesting critters.  I grew up in upstate New York where there are no poisonous snakes!

My childhood interest in horses kindled my first artistic endeavors.  As a subject, horses require quite a bit of observation and practice.

I spent a number of years as a technical illustrator enjoying the challenge for accuracy and detail.  I left this job to be a late in life stay at home mom with my third child.

For a number of years I designed greeting cards as a free lance artist in addition to belonging to a co-op art gallery. I also started a great small business growing, drying and arranging flowers and herbs.

Recently I have taken up plein air painting .  After many years of working inside, I can't wait to be outside.

I feel like I've come full circle!  I want to once again tramp through the woods and look for creeks and ponds.  Here in Texas of course you have to look out for some critters!

I hope you enjoy my site.  I have many interest so my subjects are varied.
