To be an artist, to paint and be surrounded by artists and their art is a dream come true. Having grown up in Madison, Florida, and graduating from Auburn University in Art Education, I didn't focus on developing my skills until later in life. In an effort to render what I observed, I have moved from being precise, tight and literal, to becoming more loose and impressionistic. As I follow my style and how it is developing, it is similar to turning the camera lens and seeing it focus more on color and mood, from the illustrative accuracy of my earlier paintings. i love color, and am constantly searching for slices of beauty that surrounds me, wanting to capture it with my brush. Living in Savannah, GA gives me unlimited subject matter, both in our historic downtown and the beautiful marshes that surround me. Now, owning an art gallery and Frame Shop with my husband, Tim, art surrounds and stimulates me every day.
