WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE
I started to paint in High school and later took classes in ll different mediums from a teacher in Marysville, Washington in the early 1960's. I chose oils as my medium for several years, quit for several years to quilt and came back to painting 4 years ago in Acrylics.
I like to paint what I see and occasionally unusually paintings for something different. I do seascapes, landscapes, flowers, fantasy, wildlife, underwater scenes and mammals. Taking photos of various places traveling around the world is a great source for paintings. Traveled to Far East, Japan, Southeast Asia, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Europe, Paris, France, England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Alaska, Mexico, Caribbean, Bahamas, and 30+ states taking photos to bring back and put on canvas.
I was boarn in Mount Vernon, Washington growing up during the depression and WWII moving as work could be found in Mt Vernon, Anacortes, Bow-Allen and finally to Arlington, Washington where I graduated from high school. My Husband, Dan and I raised 4 children, have 10 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. As a NAUI scuba Instructor I have taught around the Puget Sound through Dive shops, Everett Community College, and Juneau, Alaska for over 20 years. I was a volunteer Firefighter, EMT and Chaplain for Camano Fire Department at Madrona beach for almost 20 years. I went into Natural Health Therapy treatments, Graduated with Masters in Herbal Medicine as a Herbal Practicioner through Clayton College of Natural Health and Certified as a Reflexologist from Seattle Reflexology and Massage Center.
I love to garden, hike, swim, read, quilt, play with grandkids, and now painting has become my favoite pastime.
