I was born and raised in Rockville, Indiana and was always very interested in art and enjoyed it in school. I went to work full time after graduation and started a family which didn’t leave much time for painting.
I’m self-taught and started painting full time when I retired in 2018. I paint with oil and watercolor. I love the rural landscapes, old barns and bridges, and anything unusual or old and antique looking. I love flowers too! I sell my original paintings and prints on my website and also exhibit them in central Indiana and Illinois art galleries. Note cards of my work are for sale at the gallery in Rockville or on my Facebook page.
I have won numerous awards, including Best of Show at “Paint the Town” in Danville, Indiana, 1st in Wilkins Mill Artist Day at the Covered Bridge Art Gallery in Rockville, Indiana, Best of Show at the Little Italy Festival in Clinton, Indiana. I placed 2nd in both Wabash Valley Spring Art Show in Terre Haute, Indiana and Hoosier Pattern Plein Air event in Decatur, Indiana, and Peoples Choice Award at Arts Illiana. This year I was honored to be chosen as one of seven artists for the Convention Center Construction Fence Mural project in Terre Haute, Indiana.
I am a member of the Covered Bridge Art Gallery, Wabash Valley Art Guild, River City Art Association, Oil Painters of America, and The Swope Art Museum.
My husband Lance is my biggest encourager. Christen, my daughter; Steve, my son-in-law; grandchildren,Noah, Abram, and Elle, and my son, Eric, are also big supporters of my artwork and business. I’m so thankful to God for this gift that I enjoy so much
