BIOGRAPHY
Prior to retiring from a teaching and technology career, I always enjoyed going to art shows and galleries. Preferring watercolor painting, I decided I would like to pursue it. So, in 2013 I started attending small group art classes in the Ocala area. I was surprised how challenging watercolor was and I was fascinated by all the various techniques one could apply. For the past six years I have attended workshops at Master the Possibilities by a renowned artist from Wisconsin who travels all over the country and the world teaching art workshops. I was encouraged to start selling my work, so I entered my first art show in Dunnellon in 2016. I have participated in this art show each year since. My watercolor paintings, prints and art cards are currently on display and for sale at the Rainbow Springs Artist Cooperative in Dunnellon, FL as well as Artisans on fifth in Mt. Dora, FL.
