Originally from Kentucky. My father's Great-Great Grandmother was a full blooded Cherokee named Spring Raining. My son and I now live in Bowling Green, Kentucky after divorcing a career military man.
I have attended some classes at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, KY and plan on attending more as time may allow. 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 married a career military man, which gave me 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.
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.
