ARTIST STATEMENT
“I have painted all my life, even while teaching English and Math in the 1960s. And like a musician who plays many instruments, I paint in many different styles with watercolours or acrylics.
Creativity is addictive! I paint with passion and I feel privileged to share and give joy with my works to so many. I also paint with our four granddaughters every chance I get.”
