I live in Waco, Texas. Art has always been the focus of my life. I majored in art in college, first at the University of Colorado in Boulder, and then at Texas Tech in Lubbock, where I earned a Bachelor's Degree. Most of my career was spent designing and producing art for industry. Later, I taught in the art department at Texas State Technical College in Waco and, upon retirement, I taught watercolor classes for seven years in the Continuing Education School at Baylor University.

I am a member of the Central Texas Watercolor Society in Waco, where I have enjoyed many workshops, taught by both local and national artists. Among the national artists, my favorites have been Polly Hammett, Frank Webb, Cheng Kee Chee, Ken Hosmer and Diane Maxey.

Painting for solo shows keeps me busy. Here are some of the locations: I am often invited to provide demonstration programs and to conduct workshops for art groups in the Central Texas area.

Misty and Mollee Lulu

22" X 13 1/2"
Purchase it unframed, only $600.
I have a layaway plan if needed.
Misty, the Miniature Schnauzer and Mollee Lulu, the Westie, are owned by my niece's family and keep them entertained. I took photos as they played, then composed this painting which won "Best of Show" at the Central Texas Watercolor Show at the Woodway Arboretum in the Spring of 2007.

Ruben and his Hula Hoop

18" X 24"
$600
I took several photos of my young friend, Ruben, as he whirled his Hula Hoop around and around. From the photos, I created this painting.
