Southerner, painter, poet, photographer, wife, mother, grandmother, barefoot beach walker, grower of orchids, lover of music and all things beautiful - and pursuer of creativity. There is no order in this list, it all overlaps and intertwines, as in life..... Currently working mostly in oils and acrylics, I sometimes paint in watercolor and love to experiment with various media such as encaustic wax, collage, and various kinds of inks on paper. I've done numerous commissions for my clients, including portraits, pet portraits, and favorite landscape and street scenes.
