She dabbled in art as early as grammar
school continuing high school,
constructing costumes and painting
scenery for staged productions, and
well as other art projects throughout
her life.  It would not be until after she
earned a Tulane degree at night while

her house, that she would be able to
allow time to finally begin immersion in
art classes and workshops, truly
beginning her pursuit into fine arts.

watercolors and her detailed graphite
drawings.  In addition she enjoys
charcoal, pastels, calligraphy and
photography.  She has studied with

Andrews, Judi Bettes, Linda Kemp,
Dan Thomas, and Karen Vernon.  Her
local influences have been greats such
as Doris Cowan, Alan Flatman, Robert
Gutherie, Mickey Mullen, Kathy Stone,
and Glen Weber.  She is a member of
many local art guilds.  At the New

donor for WYES as well as a published
