I have been making art since I was a child. I was very fortunate to have an artist for a grandfather that fostered the love of pencil and paint in me from a young age, teaching me many things over the years. I have always shown a natural aptitude for art, but I have learned that one can not rely on talent forever, and there is being good at it and actually doing it. I am working on that second thing in earnest now, since the death of my daughter at 22 years old in September of 2024.

Art has become again what it had always been for me-an outlet, a place to put the emotions and pain when they have nowhere else to go. My portfolio of collected artworks from my younger years was stolen almost 20 years ago, so I don't have much from that time period, and spent most of the intervening time being a full time mom, wife, homemaker and caregiver. Now I find I have many hours to fill, so why not fill them with art?
