My adventures in art started at an early age, thanks to my mom who saw my interest and insisted I take lessons. Over the years I have learned from a myriad of teachers, most especially, Sonoma County's own, Allis Teegarden. Her influence was immeasurable.
Thanks to my sister who is my biggest cheerleader and fan. Credit also goes to our critique group, Art of 9, and the invaluable friendship and advice of my former student. Without these women in my life, I never would have been brave enough to keep on going. A thank you to all of them and other friends who held my hand when I lost confidence. Finally, a huge thank you to all the people who support my art and find joy in what I create.
​
And last, but certainly not least, thank you to my loving and supportive husband, Ron. I would never have discovered my artistic talents without his unwavering belief in me.
