I aquired a Bachelor of Art in Fine Arts from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas.
I then pursued other creative activities. I restored a victorian home and I was a professional wedding gown designer/seamstress.
I was stricken with breast cancer in 1996 and had to have the maximum treatments. I recovered and went back to sewing. I was diagnosed with a recurrance in 2002 and again had the maximum treatment. I thank God and my Lord Jesus Christ for the love, comfort, and strength that he provided me. I have recovered completely and have come to realize that it is time to pursue my art, which is my God given talent. I plan on getting my teacher certification and teaching in the public schools.
In the meantime I am returning from a 10 year hiatus from producing artwork. I also am very skilled at pen and ink and do perspective architectural renderings.
My lifelong love of dogs and cats has lead to a keen observation of their habits, personality traits, and that unique gleam in each one's eyes. It therefore comes easily for me to capture them on paper.
