		Artist's Statement Paintings have always intrigued me and in my youth, I became interested in the painting and drawing process. After art classes in college, I found some very capable instructors to further my studies. A judge once commented on one of my paintings, “I can hear the music.” That had greater meaning than the award since my desire is to involve the viewer in the painting. Whether painting in oils, watercolor, pastels or acrylic, my landscapes, garden scenes or still life reflect my interpretation of that moment. I feel that art fills a need for beauty and serenity. Travel throughout the U.S. and living in Europe for three years has afforded me the opportunity to gather information and, through my paintings, to help others see and appreciate the wonders God has provided for us.

Now resides in Sherman, Tx., where she paints exciting scenes from Lake Texoma, surrounding landscapes as well as scenes from sketches and photos from her many travels.

Through careful design and proper technique, I strive to create paintings in which the viewer can become involved.”
