Artist's Statement

I enjoy creating emotion in my pastel portraits, action in my rodeo drawings and Native American Dancer paintings, to escape to a time and place in the past with my drawings and paintings of historical buildings and relics of the past, and to relive in my landscape paintings memories of beautiful places I have loved.I am a retired educator, having a BA in Art and Education, a MA in Counseling, and post graduate work in Psychology. Having earned the status of Signature Member of the Pastel Society of Colorado I strive for excellence in my art.My drawings and paintings have been juried into the following National and International Exhibitions.
