I have been an art teacher in public schools for 25 years and have enjoyed making and teaching art for as long as I can remember.

The Hill Country called to me from my first visit in 1978 when I came to a summer class at the Texas Tech campus in Junction, Texas. After many happy summer classes there making art surrounded by beautiful scenery, I knew I would one day retire somewhere in this area ... and here I am!

My art is a combination of several of my loves: photography, collage, paint and digital imagery. I believe that art is like a mirror. It often shows to the viewers that which is hidden from ourselves.

My interest presently is exploring the relationships between our personal guides and the world around us ... the reasons why we choose the images we choose ... why we notice certain things.  The art is my way of understanding.

Textures, colors, patterns and shapes all have meanings and there is a universal oneness that speaks the same language to us all ... if we choose to listen.
