About
Art is a personal journey of discovery and emotional freedom. Everyone is born an artist... But many of us have forgotten the fun and freedom of playing in colors or creating just for the sake of creating. I can assist you in rediscovering the fun in creating and playing through drawing or painting. A born artist myself - I've taught painting, drawing and various multi-media art techniques to all ages from 5-95. I look forward to assisting you in re-discovering your talents and passion for art.
As mentioned before - art is a journey and I am blessed to have the strength and ability to journey almost every day of my life. It is an honor to create and share my work with the world.

How did you get started teaching?
After having my first child - I decided to leave my corporate, high stress job Working for a Brokerage Firm in Downtown Dallas. I then took a part-time Art Directors position with the Boys & Girls Club and fell in love with sharing my passion for all things ART. Now almost 30 years later - my greatest joy is sharing and being part of someone's creative journey!
