After several years of teaching, I retired in 2013, and I am now excited about being able to devote my time to painting again.  Formerly, I have painted murals.  In fact, several of my murals are hanging in the school where I taught for over 25 years.  I paint in acrylics and I do some watercolors as well, and I focus mostly on landscapes, seascapes and wildlife.  I love to spend my time with my family.  I have three grown children and five grandchildren.  I look forward to working with other artists in the community and improving my artistic expression and techniques.
