Having grown up traveling with a circus and carnival along with my famiy of nine, has given me a unique impression on life. I learned early on that my family was not a typical American family. My entire life I wanted just to fit in, but never really felt like I did or could.

Discovering my unique gift to paint at age 43 has allowed me an awareness of God's creation that I don't believe I would have experienced otherwise. I now look at God's creativity with such awe and amazement. In my flesh, I can't sing, dance, or play an instrument. But my spirit has learned to sing and dance through art.

My painting has become an expression of Worship to my God. I am so thankful to Him for creating in me the ability to paint and create art.

Some say I am self-taught; but, I say I am God-taught. My desire is to create works that touch others both emotionally and spiritually, and to inspire those viewing it to dream big dreams as I have learned to do.
