DeLand, FL
I am a self-taught artist who began her career after leaving to travel at age 18. I grew up in a small town of 3,000 people in Idaho, so I couldn't wait to escape and see what the rest of the world was like. I learned a tremendous amount from every place I have been, and a piece of all the inspiration is in each painting. Each country's religious art, the colors of the land and the people's decoration are all very fascinating to me. I began painting murals in Australia to fund the plane tickets, and have been doing it ever since.
My canvas paintings have been hidden away for years because I never felt they were finished, but as time passes and I notice I haven't touched them, I realized they all must be! (I tend to confuse my internal judgements with my paintings...) Needless to say, I am finally showing them all the sunlight.
I hope to do this for the rest of my life, and I hope to share a bit of my fascination with everyone around me. And write shorter bios....
