I have been a self-taught, mixed media artist for over ten years. I have never taken an art class, except when I was in grade school, and twice online.



I started selling my work online in 1999. I have had success selling handmade books, greeting cards, collages, and other handmade items. Gradually, my style changed, and last year I decided I would stop making books. My heart wasn’t in it anymore. I knew I was ready to make a change, but what would I do?



At first, I flopped around, not knowing what to do with myself. All I knew is I wanted to change my focus, and do something different. Then, I started to put paintbrush to canvas (feb 2009), and haven’t looked back since. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, but never quite dared. Slowly, I began to have more confidence, and although I realize I still need lots of practice, I really like some of the paintings I’ve made.
