I began my drawing in New Orleans, on Jackson Square when I was
19, drawing portraits for free to get experience at first, later selling them as I got better.
Later I went to The Maryland Institute of Art,where I received
a BFA and then a MAT in teaching k-12.
I taught art for a little while meanwhile taking courses in printmaking.
Now I am painting almost full time, have won a Rubins Grant to continue my work and have had many shows in the Baltimore Washington area. I am a former member of Washington Printmakers.
My work is about people who I am close to and my surroundings-the beauty of the Maryland area, the little intimate courtyards, the sidewalks, the faces, the areas that make my home my home to me.
I do monoprints, acrylics, etchings. watercolors.
