When I was a young girl, I
wanted to take dancing. Along
with dancing, I had an ear for
sound and played the piano,
when I visited my
grandmothers’ house. While in
college at Southwestern
University, I took some art
courses, preparing to become
an elementary school teacher,
but it was as a young married
woman with three children,
that I discovered my talent
was painting. My first
painting was done with a paint
by number kit, and from that
point on, I was hooked.
I was so proud the first time
I sold my work. That day, I
made a little over $100, but
it was so inspiring to me. I
thought, “Hey, I want to do
this.” Over the years, I
studied art theory in
workshops with Simon Michael
and Dick Turner, however my
style is my gift from God.
My recent work is about the
thrill of exploring and
experimenting with a variety
of methods of applying acrylic
color on raw canvas. I look
for new combinations that I’ve
never done before and what
excites my interest are those
unusual, once in a lifetime,
color mixtures that have
allowed me to become more
comfortable ...
