I’ve been honored to win a few awards and take part in some national shows, but mostly I’m grateful to be able to live my childhood dream of being an artist.  Although my paintings hang in private and corporate collections in nearly every state in the US and in 11 foreign countries, it’s an even bigger pleasure when people who live near my subjects purchase my work, as it means the painting is communicating something beyond what they see every day.  I paint from my studio in Dayton, Wyoming.  My husband, Terry, and I have been married 30-years.  We have a son and daughter-in-law, a daughter, and a small posse of pets.
