Artist's Statement

The process of creating art brings a lot of joy into my life.  While I enjoy painting still lifes and animals, my main interest is painting portraits of people of all ages and nationalities.  I have a special love for painting portraits of children. 

I became interested in art in a serious manner late in life.  Now that my children are grown and I am retired from my career, I have time to take art classes, join art organizations, and draw and paint images that inspire me. My art work is frequently on display at various locations throughout the St. Louis and St. Charles areas and I have been fortunate enough to win many awards.  I also have had paintings juried into national exhibits on four occasions at the St. Louis Artists’ Guild.

I feel it is a privilege and a gift to have the time and opportunity to be an artist.
