As far back as I can remember; I have loved watercolors!  I begged my Mother to buy watercolor books with colored dots.  All I had to do was wet a brush and enjoy captivating hours exploring the magic of colors appearing on paper.

For the past four years lessons with Tommy Thompson, Anne Hightower Patterson, Billie Mathias, Jennifer Branch,  classes at Midlands Technical College with Khaldoune Bencheikh in watercolor and oil, oil classes with Ingrid Carson, and art books from the Lexington Library System have helped me to form a favorite pastime.

Works were juried into the South Carolina State Fair for the past four years.  Selling art from a front porch in Historic Elmwood Park was an experience, as horse driven buggies with modern tail lights carried smiling passengers up the streets.  On October 7, 2007, I found myself reading Haiku poetry, inspired by paintings, at “Through the Eyes of Art” in Saluda Shoals Park.  I am invited to return for the second year as part of the Oct. 5, 2008, UNEARTH, a celebration of naturally inspired art.   On Valentine’s Day 2008, “For the Love of Art” launched a gallery opening at the Chapin Furniture Store.  Join me November 22, 2008 for the Art Party at Palmetto Fine Arts in Chapin.

Works are inspired by travels, antiques, the outdoors with wild flowers, garden flowers and critters that inhabit my yard.  The Haydock Path Gallery was established in the spring of 2007.
