I am originally from the Nashville area of Tennessee, but I have retired in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. About 12 years ago I decided I would like to try drawing and painting, and I haven't stopped because it is very relaxing and challenging at the same time. I have sold my art at the Secret City Festival two different years and I have participated in several festivals at Jackson Square. This is my third year participating in the Winter Farmer's Market in Oak Ridge. One of my most popular products is my black and white note cards. Also, my favorite topics to draw or paint are butterflies, animals, and flowers.
