About the Artist:
I am a self taught artist and have been drawing since early childhood. I was always "afraid" of color and didn't even attempt working with color until I moved to Naples, Florida in 2001. I quickly realized one cannot live in Florida and ignore the abundance of color! Needless to say, I am no longer afraid!
I started showing my work in a gallery in Ft. Myers in 2007. We moved back to Kansas (I know, I know) in 2008 and I have shown consistently in galleries, banks, restaurants and hotels in the Topeka, Lawrence, Kansas areas and Kansas City, Missouri.
I have received several awards: Best of Show in the Buttonwood Artspace Gallery, KC, MO, in the Kansas City Blues and Jazz show; Patron's Choice for the same piece/show; a Second place award and an Honorable Mention, also at the Buttonwood Gallery (different shows).
My mediums are varied, as are my styles. I hope you enjoy...
