: About Me

I have a passion for art and I love to paint. I just finished my Bachelors of Fine Art! I am a Hairstylist/ Hair Color Artist/Nail Technician and beauty shop owner by trade. I have Three childern and six grandchildern of my own and six step grandchildren that think that I am their Memaw too. I love to read. Knowledge is power!I have a strong sense of justice, what is right or wrong. I have often questioned why bad things happen to good people and why good things happen to bad people. I have a strong faith is Jesus, maybe that is why I have always been for the underdog, the Mary Magdalene's of the world. I find in my work as an artist that spirituality comes out even if I am trying to create something total different. Robert Henri would put it this way; "Don't worry about your originality. You could not get rid of it even if you wanted to. It will stick to you and show you up for better or worse in spite of all you or anyone else can do". Therefore, I work to make statements about the world around me, the sorrow, the anguish, and the joy. I am now working to depict the tenderness, the suffering, and the solitude- The Sound of Silence.
