I live in Illinois with my husband, two growing children and a big tabby cat.  We live in a small town and I love it!  I enjoy gardening, which is where I find most of my inspiration.  I appreciate the colors and the peaceful feeling of nature and I paint items that give those same feelings back.  What makes me happy is when viewers have that same connection to something I’ve painted.  I’m self-taught and have been drawing since childhood, but painting came later for me.  My work has changed from painting with watercolor on paper, to acrylic on canvas and now with porcelain paint on ceramic pendants.  Each piece of my hand painted jewelry begins with a ceramic “canvas”, which is hand made by a talented ceramist.  I paint as much detail as possible and use the smallest brushes I can find!  I have more ideas than I have time and I’m grateful for that, because I look forward to many years of creative and fulfilling work.
