Artist Bio :

   
I was born in southwest Ohio and have continued to reside in the same area with my husband of 36 years on our family farm near Xenia.  Being a farm wife has allowed me to experience many aspects of nature.  I have watched our neighborhood landmarks large and small slowly disappear over the years.  I want my art to influence people, in the cities and on farms, to appreciate, respect and preserve the land and animals which sustain all of us.  When viewing my work I want people to have a powerful emotional response to the connection I portray of nature.
    Since early childhood, I have been creating art about the world around me.  I can remember my first painting.  In the third grade my landscape watercolor of a field of fodder shocks was hanging in the classroom for all to see.  From that day forward I was captivated for life.  I continued my art in college earning an Associates degree in Fine Art and a Bachelor’s degree in Art Education.  I have been teaching art at Carroll High School for over 20 years and it is a joy to guide young artists towards their dreams.
    Nature provides wonderful subject matter and never ending artistic challenges.  My lifetime of experience in the outdoors enables me to understand accurately the subjects of nature and its truths.  I invite you to share my vision and enjoy my point of view of nature.
