A native of Mississippi, I am an artist who lives at idyllic Lake Powell, near scenic Hwy. 30-A in the Florida Panhandle. Having developed a deep love of the area throughout my lifetime, my spouse and I decided to make Florida our home in 2009. Holding separate degrees in art and interior design, my career path returned me to the creation of works of art in 2016, full-time, following a well-rounded creative career path of professional dance, visual merchandising, furniture design, art gallery ownership, retail store ownership, and professional interior design practice of 20 years. I am grateful for all of my many blessings and experiences but I must say that I am happiest in my painting studio.
