After much thought into why I paint I would venture to say it soothes my soul. I can immerse myself into this wonderful creative world that God has created for us where everything is beautiful and true. I was born into a family who loves and appreciates art and all the women in my family were artists. As a child I would spend summers with my Aunt Eva Pearl in Louisiana who always had an art project ongoing and every afternoon, after doing the household tasks, which included taking care of me, she dedicated time for drawing, painting, or sculpture. I used to observe her and loved being in her environment. Many, many years later after she and I both had raised our families she invited me to attend a watercolor workshop by Mary Barton and that day changed my life. Today I draw and paint both in watercolor and oils but it is watercolors that move me and excite me. I absolutely love to paint and am so very fortunate to have a loving husband that supports me in my art as well as a generous boss who allows me time off to paint.
