My journey with art began at a young age.  My father was an excellent self-taught pencil artist particularly with portraits. Although I have no “official” art education, like him, I have been a self-learner beginning with pencil.  

I remember joining an art class in 1st grade, and spent hours creating as a child.   During H.S. I had a chance to explore other media, but watercolor did not come until my 40’s. The stimulation of brilliant colors brought a new excitement to my art.

Through the years, I had the privilege of working with many students in the homeschool community, in private art class and even adult workshops.  It is a joy to see others create and gain confidence by learning competence.
