Artist's Statement: I've found that Art is an important part of my life because it keeps me centered, whether it is by viewing, reading art history or attempting to create, it transforms me to another world. The word ART brings to mind beauty, history, cultures and comfort. It makes me think of childhood trips and travels to museums to view beautiful works of art by renowned artists.

I love all types of art, from visual to theatrical. Without ART, humans would be just another species. My artwork and life centers around the family, so most of what I do is about my family or family surroundings. I have worked with pencil drawings, colored pencil, pen and innk and some watercolor.

Accomplishments: For the past eighteen years, my husband and I, along with our son, daughter, and son in law, have been building and nurturing a family business of computer training services, formerly ExecuTrain, now ContactPointe.
