As long as I can remember I have drawn or created in some way to entertain myself.  I minored in art at Winthrop University and also studied art at the University of South Carolina. After teaching high school English for thirty years,  I immersed myself in art by taking classes and  surrounding myself with other artists.

I am a member of the Crooked Creek Art League, Trenholm Art Guild, Seven Oaks Art League and About Face. I participate in seminars offered by local artists and and workshops sponsored by the leagues.  I have been pleased  to win awards for my work.  Recently, I won Best in Show and People’s Choice, Amateur Division in the Crooked Creek Juried Art Show.  I have also been commissioned for portraits and other paintings.
