Being creative began when I was around 10 years old or so. I watched my father doodle stick figures, compact cars and strange buildings using a stub pencil on paper or sometimes on the corners of magazine pages.  Mimicking him, I would blow my breath on a windowpane and finger doodle.  From there I pencil drew buildings with rooms, and I would add furniture.  From there I discovered watercolor, and I loved the affect when I threw salt on my work. Then I discovered oil paint and canvases and brushes and the wonderful National Geographic Magazine which is still a source of my inspiration.  In there are places I know I will never see so I paint through the eyes of photographers.  BUT I often decide(ed) to use my own visions, my own moods, my own photos and so now I paint on a canvas or tac board, glass and sometimes still, on windowpanes.  I consider myself "self-taught" for the most part because of Mr. Brice, my father.   

I was born in North Carolina, and I now reside in Minnesota.

Life offers paradoxes and the thrill is working it all out to the best of my ability.
