I am a contemporary fine artist and surface designer, living and working in Texas. I like to use beautiful colors and soulful imagery to reflect my joy in the simple beauty of life, family and friendship. I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts from The University of Texas with Honors. I taught art for 16 years to kids of all ages before becoming a full-time artist. They taught me the importance of passion and play and imagination!
