It is an honor to share
my artwork with you and to tell you a little about myself and
where I live, why I do what I do and the questions we naturally
wonder about. |
|
I live in scenic rural Michigan
with my husband and grown family. My studio and gallery is in
Lake Odessa, Michigan; where you will find me when not at art
shows across the country. At an early age I discovered my ability
to draw, and have possessed a desire to develop my natural abilities.
My strength has always been in portrait. While I have had no
formal training, I have learned the value of observation and
studying the designs, colors, and perspective of that which surrounds
me. |

The models in the pictures are friends,
neighbors and family members. I chose people from various denominations,
races and personalities to include people from various walks
of life. Being raised in the country and near the shores
of Lake Michigan has exposed me to some beautiful designs of
God. Fields of wheat, flowers and streams, and children
at play in trees and on beaches, have all prompted a sense of
wonder and stirred my imagination. I have been blessed by all
that God has made and created for us to enjoy. I love who He
is and especially His merciful heart revealed by the giving of
His Son, Christ Jesus as Savior... to whom I am forever grateful.
I hope you find our art selections
and writings to be inspirational, encouraging, and relatable
to your everyday life. |
