Bio

I have always been an artist, drawing as far back as I can recall. Growing up in Oklahoma City, my art

education consisted of high school art and sculpture classes. There, as a member of the Art Honor

Society, my love of oil painting began.

I married and raised a family and for many years my art was relegated to weekends. Then I was blessed

to be able to start my career as a full time artist in 2008. Now I paint from my studio in Dardanelle,

Arkansas, where I reside with my husband Sam and son Matthew.

I have always gravitated toward the western genre and artists such as James Bama and Carl Brenders

inspired me to paint realism.

Having a love of equine subjects, adding cowboys, cowgirls and Indigenous Americans seemed a natural

progression.

I have had several solo shows and have attended art workshops taught by prominent artists. As a

member of several revered art societies, my work has been juried into countless fine art shows across

the country, garnered many awards and I was honored to judge a nationally acclaimed small works

show.

I am a member of these fine art groups –

National Oil & Acrylic Painters Society (NOAPS) signature

SouthWest Artists (SWA) signature

Miniature Artists of America (MAA) signature

Women Artists of the West (WAOW) currently serving as Vice President

American Plains Artists (APA)

American Women Artists (AWA)
