Love of the outdoors, canoeing, camping, traveling and infatuation with photography distracted me from hands-on art for many years but a return to college in the early eighties to complete a Masters Degree re-inspired and renewed my love of fine art.
As a member of The Lone Star Art Guild for the last four years, I have enjoyed competing with many other regional artists. I frequently explore various mediums and previously worked in collage, acrylic and oils. Discovering the power of colored pencil, I am exploring that medium and joined the Color Pencil Society of America. I have been a member of CPSA for two years.
I have attended at least six workshops in the last three years -- learning something new each time and regaining the confidence I had when I graduated from the University of North Texas with a degree in Fine Art.
“I forgot for a while how wonderful it is to be challenged by working on a piece of art, how much fuller and more satisfying everyday life becomes. I am glad I remembered!”
