painting in acrylics with nationally known artist Brenda Harris.

to many workshops,  art conferences and seminars.  She studied with

Jackie Schindehetti, and was also influenced by Highwayman, George

Buckner, and wildlife artist Fred Wetzel, and many others.

imagination.   As a youngster she learned how to observe the natural

beauty that surrounds her. That explains her abilty to capture the

details of Florida landscapes, beautiful native birds, and wildlife.
