While I paint, I focus on my mission to bring beauty into the world that did not exist before. The joy I experience as I paint is similar to the pleasure I enjoyed as the author of the national best-selling series of heartwarming stories, Chocolate for a Woman’s Soul. Inspiration feeds my soul, whether from art or books.

I reside in Lake Oswego, OR with my husband, Eric, and two dogs, Buddy and Lucy. Our grown sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren add vitality to my life.
