About Me
My Beginnings
For my 15tth birthday my Father gave me my first oil paints, inspired by a trip to the Smithsonian. Now, with my children raised and retired from teaching, I can devote the time I dreamed about to art.
My Background
My art education included classes from Santa Barbara City College, UCSB, and the SB Museum of Art. Layer those with a miriade of seminars, workshops, and online classes. I have been a member of the Placerville and El Dorado Hills Art Associations entering in their many shows and competitions as well as being a member of a Placerville gallery for two years. I taught elementary school in Santa Barbara for 25 years, infusing art into the curriculum whenever possible. Still passionate about teaching, I brought art lessons to six classes in a local rural school for 6 years.
My Inspiration
Mother Nature is my ultimate inspiration. I love to paint her scenery from the Tetons to Maui, Yosemite to the Santa Barbara harbor, and the lure of our own Amerian River.
