Introduction	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. I love painting in oil and pastel. My husband and I live in Texas with some rollicking Irish Setters, a few feisty cats and handful of other critters.
Interests	When not painting I am usually showing one of our Irish Setters, reading or gardening.
Favorite movies	This is tough. I love going to the movies. My favorites are ones that make you think and have a feel good ending.
Favorite music	Southern Rock, Country
Favorite books	All books, love to read!
