The Short & The Sweet
I’m sure I was born to be an artist. But I as born to be many other things too. If only I could fill all of my days with nature and art making.
I have two college degress - Science (animal science) and fine arts (interior architecture & design). Both studies play a role in my creations.
I’m a left-brain, right-brain highly functioning individual.
Animals are the best. Especially dogs. And horses. And elephants.
I create art because I simply must do so. To stay sane. To be happy.
I write because I can’t help myself. The words come and I put them down on paper.
Life is good in Colorado. Nature is my church and my therapy. I share my life with two dogs - Finn and Falon.
Oh, and I’m a mom. My boy is grown man now, and will forever be, my most important creation.
Grateful Every Day. Find Your Peace. Live Life Wonderful!
