About Me
I grew up in Dallas, Texas surrounded by my dogs, cats, horse and a number of critters. When I was not outside with the animals I would be in my room sketching and drawing animals. My mother enrolled me in my first private oil painting lesson when I was ten years old. I have been painting ever since. For many years I had a career in finance working both in the private sector and for the Federal Government. My heart yearned to paint and since 1996 I have been a professional artist. Though I painted in oil for about 20 years the last 8 years I have been painting in pastel. My husband and I live in Southern California with some rollicking Irish Setters, a few feisty cats and handful of other critters.
