My artwork is about simple pleasures in life, life’s experiences which most of us can relate to.    Relationships, nature, and music are intriguing to me as an artist.  As a native of Tennessee, music is a part of who I am.  Music continues to be a recurring theme in my work.

Pen & Ink drawings are my passion.  Etchings by Durer, Rembrandt and Homer are my inspiration. As a child I would study the etchings in old books and I wanted my drawings to have the look and feel of those etchings. I also work with watercolors, color-pencil and acrylic.

My career started as a Graphic Artist, and then I taught Visual Art and Digital Art in the public school systems in both Tennessee and Georgia.  I am now retired and returning to what I love to do, draw and paint.

There's no retirement for an artist, it's your way of living so there's no end to it. Henry Moore
