My husband and I live in rural Northern California. We have two daughters who are married and I have three grandchildren. I am focusing full time on my art, specializing in landscape paintings painted on location (plein air) and portraits in soft pastel and watercolor. I am an avid nature lover who hikes quite a bit. My husband and I are looking forward to his retirement from the US Forest Service in about three years.     [11/12/16]

After leaving Lennox, I went on to El Camino College then onto Sierra College in Northern California. I transferred to Chico State for a few years. I married in 1986 and am continuing to live in the Sierra foothills in Northern Calif. I have two daughters, one is 19 and the youngest is 15. I am an artist working mainly in pastel anything from portraits to landscapes. Art is my main focus after my faith in God and my family! I live a busy, quiet life in the country and I love it. My hobbies besides art is travelling, cooking, hiking, photography and more art!  [7/28/02]
