I started painting when I worked on a sailboat in the Bahamas in the sixties. Beach combing was daily fare and I would paint ships on the unusual bottles I found that had washed up on the shore.
I painted mostly for gifts in oil and acrylics while raising my family. Now I'm entranced with the effects that can be achieved with watercolor. Except for a few lessons, I'm a self-taught artist. When the last of my three sons left for college a few years ago, my husband converted their large bedroom into an art studio for me. Having a studio really inspired me and encouraged me to paint a great deal.
When I'm not painting or working full time, I spend my time working on my garden and preparing for our annual Fourth of July party at my cottage. I reside with my husband Eric at our home on Fish River in Summerdale, Alabama.
