I create art primarily in pastels. I graduated from Michigan State University, studying textiles and art. Over the years, I have studied drawing, painting, calligraphy, stone sculpture, weaving, computer art and animation, and creating websites. I continued my art studies with many well known pastel artists, including workshops with Cara Reische, Will Klemm, Susan Carlin, Richard McKinley, Bob Rohm, Claudia Seymour, Liz Haywood-Sullivan, Fred Somers and Barbara Jaenicke.
God’s creation inspires me every day. In my view, art should improve the life of the artist and the viewer – by giving them beauty, humor, a moment of peace… I love to feel that I have achieved that whenever possible.
I teach drawing and pastel classes at my studio, and give demos and workshops on painting skies, organizing our art, and social media.
I was a finalist in The Artist's Magazine's 29th Annual Art Competition and was recently the featured artist in the Informed Collector Daily Brief. Art associations include: Campagna Society of Artists, Crown Artists, and the Piedmont Pastel Society. I welcome commissions, and work from my studio at Clearwater Artists Studios in the city of Concord, North Carolina, where the arts are truly encouraged and supported.
