I

Hello and welcome!!  So happy you're visiting my virtual gallery!  I have loved working with color and form for as long as I can remember!  After many years of private lessons in oil, watercolor and acrylics, while raising a family and working full time, I find myself finally in a place where I can devote time to doing what I truly love!  My prefered style is photo realism, with emphasis on the beauty of nature--my second love being free-form, with some abstract mingled in now and then!   Ultimately, I paint for the sheer joy of painting--the things that interest or move me, or the mood I'm caught up in at the time!  I hope you enjoy the viewing as much as I have enjoyed painting them!
