 Watercolor, Ceramics & Mixed Media
I have been pursuing my Masters degree in Art Therapy for the last few years. Until then, I painted in watercolors using the traditional style to acquire awards and prestigious galleries. I also taught workshops and classes in Brown, Bartholomew, Jackson, & Monroe counties. I have always enjoyed teaching others about art and found great success in sharing my skills.

I discovered myself wanting to do more with my art and returned to school to finish my education and embraced art therapy.

 As I began to learn more about my degree, I found myself looking at art in a different approach. All my skills did not seem to provide others with the ability to learn about themselves. With art therapy, I discovered a way to give others insight and self-awareness through the process of creating images. Along with this, I discovered my art was moving in other directions. I found myself wanting to do more work in different mediums as self-discovery.  While I still enjoy doing projects in watercolor, I love to do art in a variety of media as expression.

 I have a back to nature habitat that uses natural elements to entice wildlife to visit. I also have a traditional herb garden. I am working on a bog between our ponds, which has waterlillies, and other water plants.
