Biography
I am a
native Texan from Odessa. As a tomboy I spent an inordinate amount of
time sitting on the hardscrabble ground watching the horned toads and
June bugs. When stuck inside, I always had a crayon or pencil in my
hand.
Later I
earned a degree in accounting but in keeping with my evenly distributed
right brain/left brain ability (or curse), I acquired as many credits in
art instruction as in financial courses.
My family
and I moved to Dallas in 1985 where I found multiple organizations and
venues for my artistic inclinations. My work moved progressively over
the years from oil painting to found-object sculpture where I
specialized in creating life size animals from computer parts. I was
fortunate enough to win local show awards for my work, but had to take a
break from artistic pursuits to concentrate on my career and family.
Having
recently retired from a full-time financial officer career, I now have
more time to pursue my art. I am working mostly in acrylic and mixed
media, and am having loads of fun exploring different techniques. Every
day is an opportunity to say “Let’s try this!” I live with my husband
Tom, and
our three Maine Coon cats.
