Georgetown, SC
I attended Radford University from 1965-1969 and attained a BS in Art.
Since that time I taught art for three years at Reynolds High School in Winston-Salem, NC. Later, in 1980, I taught art at Coastal Academy in Myrtle Beach, SC for seven years, followed by teaching art for one year at North Myrtle Beach Primary School. Seeing a need for an after-school art program for children, I opened a studio for children's art lessons, which I operated for thirteen years, until my husband and I moved to Georgetown, S.C.
Over the years, I have taken numerous workshops at SpringMaid in Myrtle Beach, as well as numerous art classes at Coastal Carolina University in order to maintain my teaching certification. For the last five years until the present, I have been studying oil painting under the guidance of the very accomplished artist, Elizabeth Bronson in McClellanville, SC.
My main objective in taking these oil painting classes has been to chronicle the growing-up years of my grandchildren.
