About the Artist
Biography
Tennessee Artist
I grew up in historic St. Augustine, Florida where there were many inspirations, both from scenery as well as other artists. I have lived in various areas of the country including Charleston, South Carolina, New England and now beautiful Tennessee. I enjoy the diversity of the landscape in different areas and Landscape art was my first venture and continues to be an important part of my art journey.
Life did not always allow the luxury of time and means to pursue painting as much as I would have liked. Although this has been the case, creating art has always been an important and necessary part of my life. Much of my art education has been by experimenting, wasting a lot of supplies making mistakes, visiting art shows and galleries, reading numerous books on creating art and more recently online courses. In addition to painting both realistic works and abstracts I sometimes ventured into other creative fields such as jewelry and leather but always return to painting.
I have been selling my work for over 30 years and paintings are collections all over the United States as well as Canada and England. I was a founding member of the Art League of North Florida, when we lived in Lake City and belong to The Tennessee Artists Association, Arts and Cultural Alliance of Knoxville, The Art Guild of Telico Village and The Association for the Visual Arts. I truly love knowing that someone can enjoy something I created.
