Welcome to my Portfolio. I hope you enjoy viewing the work.



I have a BFA degree in painting from Ohio University. For over thirty years I was an elementary and junior high art teacher. It wasn't until I read "The Artist Way" by Julia Cameron, that I decided to be more productive in my retirement years and become an artist.
I began with an oil painting class at Baker Hunt in Covington with Stephen Jenkins. After my first session with Stephen, he left Baker Hunt. I switched to a pastel class with Marlene Steele and after a session with me, she left. Taking their departure in stride, I perused the Baker Hunt Schedule to find another teacher whose classes coincided with my schedule. I signed up for watercolor portraiture and pastels with Ken Landon Buck. Fortunately for me, Ken didn’t leave.
A true artist’s guru, Ken inspires, encourages, and motivates his
students. For those who pursue the “bucket list” item of being a professional artist, he shares a wealth of knowledge and experienced based tips.
Over the years, I have dabbled in oils and acrylics, but now I seem to find more comfort in watercolor and pastels. Personal photos are my reference for painting. I let the image dictate the medium. I’m drawn to subjects wearing fur or feathers, as well as, a scene or portrait that says more than just the image itself.
My advice to all aspiring artists: "Be willing to make mistakes, then learn how to correct them."
