I’ve never had an art lesson. It has taken me most of my life to get to the artistic level that I am now.  I prefer pen and ink sketching because I have a difficult time with some colors and I do enjoy expressing myself with my own technique.  I am inspired to express myself in this way by being around people and nature. I’ve never displayed my work before the year of 2004.  It was in part by the encouragement of local renowned artists of the Washington Gallery that I pursed my interest to display my artwork. I have displayed my portrait work in the Artists’ Gallery in Washington , Utah, Passions for Painting in St. George, Utah, at Flanigan’s Inn and Resort in Springdale , Utah as well as the Lost City Museum in Overton, Nevada .  I received third place in the “People’s Choice” Drawing Exhibition at the Mesquite Fine Arts Center in Mesquite , Nevada as well as a first place award in the Spring Salon Art Festival there as well.

 I was born and raised on a farm in southeastern Idaho and have 4 children there. I make my home where my heart is…La Verkin, near the city of St. George in southern Utah.   It is the people around me--as I see them and experience them--that capture me the most.
