About the Artist

I first fell in love with art at the age of three when I watched my mother take a blank sheet of paper, pick up some pencils and in just a few moments of pencil to paper, viola! There before my eyes appeared a beautiful leaping tiger! I was fascinated. I was hooked.

Since then, I have always been 'the artist'. Throughout grade school, junior high, high school and college, I was the go-to person when an artist was needed. I've taken side art classes whenever I could, attended the Chicago Academy of Fine Art, and have studied techniques of other artists like crazy. If I lived another 100 years, I would only scratch the surface of what I want to do with art...my passion.

I love working with oils, acrylics, watercolor, pen and ink, and chalk pastels. I currently travel with supplies and teach acrylic painting via painting parties. And. It. Is. AWESOME!!!
