I am a stay-at-home mother as well as an artist. God has blessed my husband and I with three children, four and under! We are thankful for each one of them but they do keep us busy.

I am a self-taught artist, who began doodling back in school days. My early drawings consisted of individuals or groups of people such as cheerleaders. I drew from my imagination with varying results! Over the years I have ranged over a variety of subjects including people, faces, flowers, birds, landscapes, nature, and even a faucet!

My current artwork focuses on creating realistic, lifelike reproductions from photographs. I can use a single photo, or multiple photos as a reference.
