As long as I can remember, I loved to draw. That evolved into painting horses. Growing up in Minnesota fostered my love of art and horses as I was blessed to have horses when we lived on the Minnesota River bluff.

After raising two beautiful daughters in that pristine location, we all moved to Arizona in 1984. It was here in Arizona that I received my “formal” art education at Scottsdale Artist School in between working as a full time Realtor. “Once an artist, always an artist”..no matter what our vocation. I started in watercolor and moved to oils. I still love painting horses, flowers, cactus blooms and presently am working on a painting out of the book of Revelation. Some of my work is on www.Fineartamerica.

I have taken advantage of the many art opportunities in Arizona, by being a long time member of Scottsdale Artists League and participating in many of the shows including the Desert Botanical Garden show, which has been my favorite for many years. 

I moved to Rio Verde in May, 2020, after living in Pinnacle Peak for the last 26 years. I joined Eddie Lopez’ art class and attend when I am in town. 

I look forward to meeting all of the Verdes Art League members and participating in every way possible.
