I paint and draw because it is a passion in my life.

People are the most fascinating part of our world. That is why I especially enjoy
portrait painting. Using paint or charcoal to form three dimensional shapes on a flat surface never ceases to amaze me. I smile every time it happens.

My goal is for portraits to be life like and timeless.

As a retired nurse I now enjoy painting and have studied painting with two teachers.
My first teacher was Carol Cameron of South Holland, Illinois and currently with
Mohamed Drisi of Glenwood, Illinois.

I like to work from my own photographs but have used client photographs. My photography is included in the price. Client photos must be adaptable to create a good work of art.
