MY STORY

After retiring I wanted to find a class to re-introduce myself to painting.  I was in Ziegler's in Tulsa one day getting a piece of art framed when I came across a class in session. I started one month later and have been painting ever since.  I have been studying under Ross Myers, a 30+ year instructor and have attended workshops with  David Rankin and Pat Meyers.  I will be attending a Soon Warren workshop this summer.  I work in oils and watercolors, mostly working on landscapes from my travels.  I have done works on Mount Ranier, Ayres Rock, Machu Pichu and am currently working on a couple of pieces from Paris and one from Guatemala.  I have some watercolor still-lives and some scenes from new Mexico, New England and Washington.  I have shown works at the Bartlesville Public Library, the Price Tower Art Center, the Lyon Gallery (the Bartlesville Community Center, and the Broken Arrow Community Center.

I am actively involved in the Bartlesville art scene.  I am a member of the Bartlesville Art Association and Green Country Watercolor Society. I serve on the boards for the Bartlesville Choral Society, the Bartlesville Symphony and the OKM Music Festival.  I sing in the Bartlwsville First Church Choir and play English Handbells.  I share a home in Barltsville with my husband Tom and our two shelties, Tina Louise and Megan Marie.
