I am a self-taught artist. I have expressed my creative talents since childhood through a variety of media. My only formal artistic training came later in life. Just a few years ago, I became a breast cancer survivor which prompted me to pick up a brush and reflect life's radiance. My current works are in pastels and acrylics, drawing my inspiration from nature and sometimes the shapes of man-made objects. My inner joy comes from enhancing what I see and hopefully evolving through my art and my life experiences.
