My passion for art has been since birth. I love working and exploring all types of painting, including but not limited to oils, acrylics, watercolors, encaustic and alcohol ink. I received my MFA from University of Memphis, taught at U of M, and also Mississippi State University. Learning and exploring new techniques is what Makes working everyday an enjoyment. I have received several awards, both in art and publication. With a busy family life, I have tried to maintain a balance of art and family.
