As the daughter of an accomplished artist, I began my art training early and continued at The University of North Texas by earning a BFA in Fashion Design. After leaving the commercial field to pursue a fine art career, I studied with nationally recognized artists such as Kevin Macpherson, Ron Rencher, and Laura Robb, working primarily with oils, but also pastels and watercolors. I’m inspired by color and the way light hits a subject and I try to capture that feeling on canvas. In my classes, students develop their own style of painting while learning color, value, and strong composition.
