About Me

From earliest childhood, I loved seeing colors come together to create something special. I was in 5^th or 6^th grade when my elementary school teacher offered a beginner’s class in art at her farm outside Roanoke, VA. Over the course of several Saturdays, she introduced us to pastels, charcoal sketching, oil and acrylic painting. I loved it and have dabbled in various art mediums ever since, settling pretty comfortably with watercolor as my favorite. As an early childhood educator, then mother and grandmother, I’ve always kept a variety of art supplies within easy access for “my kids,” as well as encouragement to freely create. I take that advice to heart myself!
