From
a very young age I showed a passionate interest in drawing. Without the
aide of teaching I began sketching all manner of subjects from real life
scenery to still life. At age 10 I had my first lesson in painting with
oils.
After years of personal development, I decided to incorporate my skills
into a business endeavor. And so, in 1985, I launched my own company and
began my career in the art of custom hand lettered signs. Already
accustomed with painting oil and acrylics, I grew experience in
pinstriping, Gold Leaf and airbrush. By applying my creative techniques
and designs to various materials such as canvas, foam, plastic, wood and
glass, my custom lettering and painting methods quickly gained customers
from the Commercial/Retail market and the Racecar industry.
Today, my passion for art, along with hard earned experience and skills
are embraced together to create my paintings. I find exhilaration in the
challenges of capturing dramatic light in realism. As my love for art
continues to flourish, I am driven to learn more everyday in my studies
of light and color theory.
Memberships include International Guild of Realism, Oil Painters of
America, Women Artists of the West (associate member), and Laguna Beach
Art-A-Fair. My work is exhibited nationally, and has won awards in
various juried shows including the International Museum of Contemporary
Masters Salon International.
