"Likes to draw." This was the note sent home with me on my first day of Kindergarten. The passion to create art has remained with me to this day.
In 2004, I also took up painting, starting with oils. In 2008, I added acrylics to my painting mediums. My subjects include portraits of beloved pets, water scenes, and nature in general.
A native of Durham, North Carolina, I've made Raleigh my home since 1994, where I live with my husband Rob and our menagerie of pets.
