I am a self taught artist. I started painting about 8 years ago when my 1st child was born. I just felt this need to paint. I had never painted before but my Grandmother and Brother were and are artists. My husband, Chuck, is my greatest supportor and critic. All I had to do was tell him I thought that I should start painting and what does he do: he comes home with an easel, paints and canvases and says "Well, get started". I am inspired by my life experiences with my husband, Chuck, my two daughters, Mia and Eva, and my poodle and very large cat.
I really have a passion for what I do and I paint the things I would like to see in my own home. Dinner without wine is like life without art. I can't wait to paint!
