The beauty of nature is my greatest source of inspiration whether painting en plein air or a still life in the studio.  I paint from life or from my photos to create a realistic impression using direct oil painting techniques.

​

I grew up in northern Indiana on a farm.  I always loved being outdoors and drawing.  I have a masters degree in education and taught 24 years.  I currently live with my husband, Jerry and my dog, Piper in Rockwell, NC. 

 

Working in my studio at Rail Walk Studios & Gallery is a joy.
