My earliest dream as a child was to become an artist. When I was young, I loved drawing and drew on just about every blank space I could find. My father encouraged my passion for art. Basking in the glory of many sunsets, he taught me to observe nature and to appreciate all the gifts I had been given. He showed me the newly formed leaf buds and how sunlight dapples the ground.

Over the years, I have studied with some wonderful teachers. Each of them taught me something unique about the creative process. Offering my art for sale has also enriched my life with lasting friendships among art and nature lovers. I feel there is so much to discover that one never stops growing and learning.
