I have attended some classes at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, KY prior to moving to the Paducah, Kentucky area.  I attended Murray State University on an Art Honors Scholarship while still in high school (Murray High School ) then later attended Murray State University . I had the opportunity to work all around the United States in the creative world of Advertising, Graphic Arts, Graphic Design, Creative Director, Television Writing and Production, Television Co-hosting, Promotions Director, and Marketing, all the while honing my fine arts skills.  I am happily married to a wonderful man.

In this life I have been fortunate to meet people from all walks of life and tried to learn something from each of them (and myself) and bring a bit of that into my diverse subjects in painting and drawing.

Now I feel my life has made  a full circle back to Kentucky where I was born after living in TN, IN, NC and LA. I am finally home after my life's journey. I am working on a book about my life that details the ups and downs of life experiences while finding art as an outlet to keep myself grounded. I am blessed to have a wonderful son and a loving man by my side.
