Artist's Bio

As an artist, I’ve been living and working in the Central Texas and the Texas Hill Country area for the past thirty years. I work out of my home studio in Round Rock, Texas in my preferred medium – oil.   I'm inspired by nature and color.   I love to paint landscapes, flowers and still life subjects.

I first became exposed to art as a child in  California.  We had a professional artist as a neighbor.  I spent many hours watching with fascination as she worked and was mesmerized by her ability to transform a flat surface into a likeness with depth and  dimension that made the images  life like.  

During the 80's  one of my neighbors challenged me to reproduce a painting she  had completed - that was the beginning of a new love.
