I have had the opportunity to live in several states and visit many places. I have found beauty in all these locations and  moved to South Carolina in October 1999. I especially enjoy painting the 
variety of landscapes and architecture of different areas as well as flowers, abstracts, etc.

I enjoy working in watercolors, acrylics and inks because they flow on the paper and hold unexpected surprises when one is working with them.

I have taken workshops from prominent artists, Tony Couch, Gary Akers,  Paul  George, Carlton Plummer and Betty Lou Schrems. I have learned from them and through adaptation have developed my own style.

I am a member of the South Carolina Watercolor Society, Blue Ridge Art Council in Seneca, SC, and Upstate Visual Arts in Greenville, South Carolina.  I have shown work in the First Light Art Gallery in Easley, South Carolina; Patina on Ram Cat Alley in Seneca, SC; and Country Gallery & Frame in Tamassee, SC. 

I received a first place in the Anderson Artists Guild Show summer of 2000 and was in the 23rd Annual Juried South Carolina Artists Exhibition. I was juried into the Anderson Artists Guild show the fall of 2000 and the Blue Ridge Art Council's Spring 2001 show.

In addition, I have participated in the Anderson Soiree and Greenville Art in the Park, as well as various events sponsored by the Blue Ridge Art Council. I also participated in Seneca Waterfest 2000 With Art.

I invite you to explore my art and I hope that you enjoy viewing each piece as much as I did capturing the moment.
