After pursuing a degree in fine arts at Kent State University I spent 28 years attending PTO meetings, swim meets, horseback riding events, entertaining wine enthusiasts, fund raising for various organizations, soccer games and raising three wonderful daughters, I retired to working part-time at the local contemporary art gallery, Show of Hands. There I was inspired to pursue my interest in computers and art which has opened the doors to art classes, botanic art and acrylic painting.

I have been inspired mostly by color. I love color and enjoy a powerful impact created by the use of color.
