About
A Little Bit About Me
​
Hello! Thank you for visiting my site. I hope you get as much enjoyment out of viewing my work as I do in creating it.
I am an artist, entrepreneur, and mother, among many other things, located in the beautiful village of Eureka Springs, AR. If you have not been to visit us yet, you must come check it out. We are consistently rated in the top 10 small art communities in the United States!
My art journey began as far back as I can remember. I come from an artist family and have always enjoyed total support and inspiration from those around me. My primary focus is oil painting although I enjoy multiple drawing & painting media as well as ceramics and jewelry. In addition to creating art, I love to teach others what I know through private lessons.
Thank you again for stopping by. I hope to hear from you!
