Many customers like to know the background of the artist.
I have been drawing and painting as long as I can remember. My earliest memory is of sitting in a high chair with
paper and crayons, layering color on top of color and then scratching through the waxy surface with my fingernail to
make colorful designs. I received my first award for an art piece when I was seven years old.
I exhibited in Young Talent In Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Drawing Competition several times during my high
school years. I was awarded the Enid Arts Association Scholarship when I graduated from high school. I pursued
my education in art at the University of Oklahoma earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1985.
I then married, had children and my art became a hobby. I have painted murals, designed halloween costumes,
custom painted furniture and drawn many portraits over the years.
I still live in Oklahoma with my husband, two daughters, two dogs, two cats, two box turtles, one snapping turtle and
a few fish.
