Growing up in a midwestern city, I found my love of art through the inspiration of my high school art teacher, a refugee from China, Sister Mary Paula. She gave me the confidence to develop my own dialog and to try a variety of artistic expressions. And I received formal training through the University of Cincinnati.

Working from my studio in the Pendleton Building of Cincinnati, a magnet for artists around the world, for several years, offered the experience that is the basis for my studio practice.

I then made the move to Dallas and Austin, where I am busy cultivated a rewarding art business and practice. Recently I relocated my studio to Dripping Springs where I am surrounded by nature.

McCrory Timmerman, Davis and Company Galleries, Real Gallery, Art Design Consultants and Austin Art and Framing are a few galleries where my work has been exhibited.

Juried shows where my work was accepted and/or placed in competition included: Imagine, Roundrock, TX, Davis and Company Artists of Texas and Art Space.

I have also exhibited in art fairs including: Hyde Park Art Fair in Cincinnati, Art City Austin, Salado Art Fair, Frisco Art Fair and much more.
