Personal

About Me
After taking drawing classes at Howard Payne University in Brownwood Texas, 1976 for two years, I got married and started a family. I didn't spend much time doing anything creative outside of only a few drawings, needlework and sewing until about 2002. I began to desire drawing again and started out with pencil and prismacolors. I took a drawing class at a local community college and enjoyed working with charcoal. This is when I learned the technique of erasing the highlights from a totally charcoaled background, known as Subtracted Charcoal, such as in Evening Prayer. I work full-time at a local Christian school as the High School Secretary. The time spent there has been challenging...but a lot of fun. As we all know, the pay isn't that great working at a non-profit organizaion, but I've learned a lot and have had a great opportunity to work with teachers and teenagers. Even though my time to paint has been limited, I usually spend my Summers to catch up. I ventured into oils by 2005 and love working with a brush. My aspiration has been to paint mostly portraits. Although, I am currently trying my hand at some still lifes and landscapes. A dear friend has given a lot of his time to mentor me for the past couple of years. I look forward to seeing where God leads me in this journey of life and what all He has for me to learn!
