Welcome to my website. I am a working studio artist now but have traveled a circuitous path to being able to spend full time working on art. My original major in college was art but I had three children that I needed to support so I altered my course and got my BA in English and did my graduate studies in English also. This allowed me more flexibility in the job market. After working in several fields I opened a children's bookstore which I operated for 10 years. Upon closing the bookstore about 11 years ago I began setting up my studio and acquiring skills in the fiber arts and surface design areas. During the previous years I could only work part time as a watercolorist. With my newfound freedom I have been exploring various media and working to create a body of work using mixed media and surface design techniques.

Upcoming Exhibit
I will have an exhibit opening at the All Souls Unitarian Church Gallery at 2952 S. Peoria Ave., Tulsa, OK on March 13th running through April 10th.
