Welcome to my little corner of the world! Thanks for stopping by to see my art.

I am a free spirited, adventurous soul who lives life in color! My creative interests are eclectic, driven by what inspires me in the moment, so you will find a variety of subjects and styles in my shop.

I was a late bloomer when it came to discovering my passion for art. I started painting at around age 48 and have been making up for lost time ever since. I have explored several different mediums, and enjoy trying new things and experimenting. However, acrylics are my favorite. I often use them along with collage and other materials to create mixed media pieces.

I like to paint a variety of things, including landscapes, faces, figures, and abstracts, but I always come back to florals. My style is loose, imperfect, and slightly abstract. Rather than an accurate representation, I like to think I capture the essence of my subjects, and the emotions that they inspire.

People often describe my art as joyful, and that is one of my goals as an artist - to spread a little joy in the world.

I am a Kansas native, but moved to beautiful Table Rock Lake, near Shell Knob, MO, after retiring from 34 years in education. In addition to creating my own art, I also have a mobile Paint Party business, Art2Go. I enjoy sharing my love of art with others and helping them learn to discover their creativity.

My life is now filled with art, family, lake life, and traveling with the love of my life.
