I truly enjoyed art in my early teenage years, however once out of school I went to work, raising a family and living life. After raising our family I chose to pick art up again, so about two years ago I started drawing and painting among other crafts. I really love the challenge of painting and drawing my interpretation of photos and scenery. I use a few different mediums such as journal covers and vinyl record albums. Seeing others smile when they receive the colorful item or knowing the joy my art brings to others is why I do what I do. Although I am self taught with no formal training I have sold locally and want to share the joy with as many people as I can.
