Welcome to my Web Site.

Let me tell you a little something about myself

I was born in Colorado and grew up in New Mexico, where I
was surrounded by scenic beauty and majestic wild life.
At the present I live in Northeastern PA with my husband ,our
precious Lab, Shadow and the newest addition is Josie my
little Shih Tzu Here I continue to enjoy an abundance of wild
life. We live on a  2+ acres of wooded land in Dyberry where
the deer, birds, wild turkeys and black bear are bountiful.

My earlier works reflected the use of acrylics, oils and
watercolors, which lead me to my primary medium. Pastels.
They have become my passion.  
Favorite subject to paint are animals and I always start with
the eyes.
That is the soul of the animal and of my work.


Along with my pastels I also enjoy doing small paintings on
feathers and mushrooms.
