I am a self
taught artist who works mainly in the medium of acrylics and oils for my
images. Recently I have been experimenting with sandstone by cutting out
shapes and using them in my art pieces.
The
need and desire to create art has been a life long pursuit for me. My
childhood was spent growing up on a farm in Fort Collins, Colorado. I was
always around animals and loved drawing, so it was only natural that I should
start drawing the scenes of the farm.
While attending
Colorado State University, I met my future husband Jim. After marriage my
art was put on hold while I managed a career and family. After retiring to
Estes Park, Colorado in 1990, I once again started dabbling in the arts. Most
of my ideas come from observing wildlife outside of my studio window. And
living close to Rocky Mountain National Park has motivated me in painting more
wildlife intertwined with Native American Images.
Most of my art
is recognized by my designs portraying animals in a southwest fantasy
theme. My
artwork has been in invitational
exhibitions throughout the United States with representation in galleries
throughout the area.
