About
My paintings have exhibited in solo and group shows in galleries and businesses in California and Nevada. My original works are held in private collections in Nevada, California, Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Florida, Washington and Wisconsin. My art prints are in homes and businesses throughout the United States.
I grew up in two beautiful communities in California- Big Bear Lake and Rancho Bernardo. Art became my passion after I graduated from college. I began drawing plants from my garden. I drew portraits of my family too. These were primitive drawings, but foundational because I had found a way of expressing what I love.
Fast forward to today. Art is still my passion, but I have new eyes. With God's help, I can see what He sees. I'm falling more in love with what He loves. He loves people. He loves details. I love to discover His details in the faces, flowers, and butterflies that I'm privileged to paint and draw.
A few years ago I started to paint very fun bear characters. My Bearie Blvd. Bears® are dear to my heart. I have tall ceilings in my home. My husband has helped me hang 50+ bear paintings. I'm excited about sharing my bear art prints with you.
Thanks for reading my story.
