I live in Austin Texas and enjoy painting with oils in my spare time. I moved to Austin from Dallas in December 2004 and have taken several classes at Laguna Gloria, my favorite one being a plein air class with Laurel Daniel.

As I work for a state representative, my free time is non-existent during legislative sessions and after this last one I realized that it's time to start painting on a regular basis - otherwise the crazy stress of working in politics is going to do me in! I have five wonderful children, and four grandchildren. They are all very supportive of my art, as is my fabulous husband, Ken, the light of my life.

I believe everyone is artistic in some way and I would always encourage anyone I meet to follow your heart when it comes to artistic expression. You will never be sorry!
