My art experience began with the help of my mother. She supplied the materials, guidance, and taught me how to color within the lines when I was two and helped me paint my first oil painting when I was three. I was later raised in Missouri and continued my art at North Platte R-1 in Missouri.

Encouraging others in art is important to me. It also helps to keep my imagination alive by being involved in local galleries, the Lincoln Artists’ Guild, the Association of Nebraska Art Clubs, and designing Graphics for over 29 yrs. My husband, family and friends are my best supporters and critics of my work. Being a successful artist is having faith in God and having His love shine through my art. My art has been shown at Noyes Art Gallery; in the Lincoln Arists’ Guild sponsored shows; in my studio; and various venues throughout Nebraska.

My husband and I moved to Texas almost 6 years ago to be closer to our daughter.
