I’ve always enjoyed being creative,
and I’ve always wanted to be an artist.
Since I didn’t have the confidence to tackle an art career,
I became a school teacher.
As it happens, teaching children
presents innumerable opportunities
to be creative,
and I did that for 32 years…
and honestly…
I absolutely loved it.
But the time came (in 2012)
to follow my dream.
In 2016 I wrote a blog,
about the different kinds of art I had created.
During COVID shutdown in 2020 I painted 30 florals,
held the Summer Art Show 2020 in my yard,
and created an on-line auction to sell them all.
In January 2021 I started
to promote love, learning, tourism, and creativity in my home state,
Wild and Wonderful West Virginia.
Along with puzzle design and promotion,
I’m now learning video production
for my two future video series, Travel WV and Create WV.
I still love painting florals and landscapes
and plan to have my next show in March 2022!
I sell my original work (acrylic, watercolor, and pastel paintings)
and reproductions of my work
from this website,
and in gift shops.
