Proud Mother of 4 and Grandmother of 7 I started painting just before turning 50, when I discovered acrylics. I dabbled with oil paints over the years and have been a studio potter for more than 30 years. Working in corporate America I had the opportunity to travel for business and pleasure and began painting scenes from those trips as personal memories. With encouragement from family and friends and early retirement, I am traveling, painting and creating pottery full time.more
