Welcome

 I have been an artist all my life, because I was raised by an artist! I've been a button maker, a calligrapher, a pet portrait artist---but here on this site is my real inner painter come to life with paintings and art that have been  bursting forth!

Much of my past artwork is acrylic on canvas, but I am  now working in oils, and have watercolor/mixed media paintings, chalk on paper, and encaustic (art made of wax), which will all be clearly identified!

I am inspired by my mother, my 12-step recovery, my love of animals and people, and my belief in the Divine. I am inspired by joy and by possibilties.
