I am an artist specializing in portraits from single or multiple photographs. I am known for capturing the 'soul' of my subjects. I also sell quite beautiful original pieces and prints of my works. I have shown in quite a few art shows. I am self taught and only began doing this about 2004, several years after my husband died and I picked up a pencil and drew him. That was the beginning of it all.... I have garnered quite a following including the Art Curator and General Manager of the Florida Governor's Mansion who commissioned portraits of her daughters. I have clients and followers from around the USA as well as in Australia, and Europe. I retired early from my job with the State to draw and paint full time and have never been so happy doing something that brings me joy!
