A little about myself

I grew up in Plano, Texas.  I always drew and sketched, even when very little, but I did not pick up painting until I was in my twenties.  My mom had always painted when I was little, and she and I, along with my sister, decided to take some community classes. 

It was oils at first... until 1995, when my husband, a Youth Pastor in Plano, and I took a group of young people to Paris, France.  While visiting Montmarte, we picked up a small watercolor done by an English artist living in France.  I talked with the artist and felt really inspired to give watercolors a try.

With the help of an accomplished Plano artist, Priscilla Krejci, and some other ladies who took Priscilla's class, I discovered the magic of watercolors and was hooked.

I have been fortunate to both travel and live overseas, due to my husband's work.  We have lived in the Paris region and also in Central France.  My husband Steve, myself, and our two children, Steven and Rachel, have had the privilege of working with wonderful people within the United Pentecostal Church International and enjoyed serving in the nation of France.

We now live in the Dallas, Texas area where we continue to serve in ministry, and I pursue the wonder of personal expression through art.
