My artwork communicates the dramatic effects and colors of nature, and is meaningful to me because I can express myself through painting when words fail me.  I can share deep emotion through color and texture, seascapes, landscapes and figurative works.  It is my solace and my way of recognizing that all is created by God and reflects His personality and character.  I was born and raised in Eastern Washington, where I married my husband of almost 30 years, and  we raised two daughters.
