While driving, she finds herself noticing the shades of green in the adjacent foliage and images that present themselves as paintings in her mind. In the early 90’s, she began painting when a friend encouraged her to join a folk-art class. She was hooked. Later, she realized that painting real subjects and landscapes was her passion. Working mostly with oils, she embraces the challenges of landscape painting and also greatly enjoys painting animals. She is a member of Harvey Walker’s Monday art group and has come to realize that painting is a never-ending learning curve.
