Visual Art – Baltimore
When I turned nine years old, I gathered my birthday money and purchased my first camera, a Kodak Instamatic. It was then that I became an avid recorder of the life around me, first with photography and eventually through painting as well.
Born in Missouri, I moved to South Carolina when I was a child. After a short time in Georgia, I have lived in the lush Mid-Atlantic for 25 years and now divide my time between Virginia and Maryland.
An award-winning artist and photographer juried into both the Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton and The Loft Gallery in Occoquan, I appreciate the variety of opportunities afforded the creative mind, such as events like RAW, and routinely exhibit at many locations, locally, regionally, and nationally.
In addition to painting and photography, I enjoy being active in the Arts in this area, from belonging to and volunteering with many societies to spending time in the schools. I am also the Founder of the Pastel Society of Virginia, established 2011.
