Art was my first hobby as a child. My mother recognized that I had natural ability to draw, and bought me an art set. I drew for hours in my room. When I was in high school, my teacher displayed some of my work outside her room. In college, I took a painting class and loved every moment of it. Recently, I’ve painted more by request and commission. I’ve displayed some pieces in local craft shows, and am looking for avenues to display/sell my art. I paint on canvas & wood, using acrylics & oils, with handcrafted wood frames from my husband’s shop. I paint mostly wildlife, landscape, & abstract art, with a personal focus on family memories in some of my work.
