I believe in magic. I believe in the muse that inspires me and in my attempt to communicate a fleeting emotion into art. I believe in art's ability to heal, first the artist, then the viewer...and if by chance my art touches your soul we both win. Even when my vision is opposite your viewpoint or makes you uncomfortable, I made you stop and think.
I have studied with Tony Couch, Glenna Hartmann Charles Harrington (AWS), Carol Cooper, Janet Walsh (AWS), Margaret Evans (PSA), Albert Handell (PSA), Greg Biolchini (PSA), and Anne Heywood (PSA). I maintain ongoing studies with Susan Edgmon of Gravette, AR.
On certain days, on certain projects I might choose Watercolor, Pastel, Acrylic or a combination of multi-media. I have entered several regional shows, and garnered four awards.
My paintings have shown at the Bella Vista Studio, Gallery West at the Crossings (Bella Vista), NWACC at the Crossings, Mercy Health Center in Bentonville, and an upcoming solo artist show at the Bella Vista Library. I am a member of the Bella Vista Art Club, Ozark Pastel Society, Artists of Northwest Arkansas, and ebsq (www.ebsqart.com), a group of self-representing artists selling art online.
