Nothing is more surprising to me than the fact that I’m a professional artist.  I’m an Iowa farm girl who moved to Arizona for college and stayed there for the next for 25 years.  I became a lawyer and practiced law in Arizona.   Eventually, I retired from the practice of law and moved to Denver, a city I had fallen in love with. 

By the time I moved to Denver, I had been creating art for fun under the supervision and mentorship of a close friend who had been a professional artist.  In 2008, she declared that my art was good enough to sell.  I had my doubts but gave it a shot at her insistence via the Art Students League of Denver’s annual Summer Art Market.  To my rather complete surprise, I sold 13 pieces.  I was launched. 

I’ve been creating art ever since. 

My art is collected by clients from Alaska to Boston as well as internationally.
