I am a true Georgian. I was born and raised in Rome, Georgia and moved to Cobb County after graduation from the University of Georgia. In college, I majored in Mathematics Education and  spent 41 years in STEM education at both the high school and collegiate level.

My passion for art comes from both of my parents. Mom sewed, cross stitched and crocheted. Dad was a master woodworker and I spent countless hours in his woodshop with him. Once I retired, I finally found the time to develop my skills as an abstract artist. It has been a very fulfilling hobby.

My work has been shown in several juried shows. My paintings are done with acrylic and it has been fun to work with colors, shapes, and various mediums, while using my hands, brushes, spoons, and various other tools to create a work of art for others to enjoy.

As a mathematician, creating geometric designed abstracts brings it all full circle. That said, I also enjoy the freedom of moving the paint where the mood takes me and discovering a story that can mean one thing to me, and something else to others.
