I enjoy painting portraits of people, pets, fish… anything but landscapes.
I’ve always had an interest in art but worked in insurance until 2002 when my husband became vice president of a startup insurance company, and we moved from Seattle to Los Angeles. In Los Angeles I left insurance and decided to do the things I’d always wanted to do. I took art classes at College of the Canyons in Valencia and joined the Santa Clarita Artists Association.
When my husband retired in 2007 we moved to McMinnville and I started Ford Street Studio where I concentrated on portraits. I also began painting with a group called All Media Painters, (now Back Door Studio Painters). We meet at Currents Gallery’s Back Door Studio.
