About

Short Bio

Now in on my 3rd journey, preschool and lower school art teacher then entrepreneur now fulfilling my lifetime dream of being an artist. I paint everyday, it is what I do . I opened a gallery, Old Crow Gallery in St. Francisville Louisiana a few weeks ago. I show my work and that of my artist friends.

Statement

Art is essential and is what nourishes my soul. It is how I express myself to the world.   I paint thoughts, dreams, motion, color and am inspired daily by music and nature. Most of my work would be called abstract or expressionistic perhaps but not always.   I love most of all the exploration and the puzzle of painting so I try new things and different techniques often.
