| Introduction | As Pablo Picasso said, "Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.” My love of art started early in life, for as long as I can remember I have enjoyed creating. And ever since I was a little girl, I knew I was meant be an artist. Born and raised in Grand Junction, Colorado, the middle of seven children, I was encouraged by my artistic parents (my father, a painter, and my mother, a culinary artist in her kitchen) to be myself and pursue my dreams. As a result, I never had any fears or doubts when it came to exploring new avenues in art. Most of my time is now spent on commissioned portraits and landscapes in oil, although I still have occassional opportunities to work in other mediums such as acrylics, pen and ink, watercolors, pencil and charcoal. |
