I started painting at the encouragement of my son and a close friend while still living in California. During this time I attended evening classes and some all day classes and learned to frame paintings as well.

I have continued with drawing classes since returning to Maine in 1980. Due to job insecurity within the region I increased the size of my flower gardens, dried my flowers, made wreaths, swags, and many different arrangements and created the floral part of the business.

I am a member of Made in Maine. My work is currently available through consignment shops at the following locations: The Corner House, Monson; Glass Paradox, Brownville Jct.; Abbot Museum and Mainely Crafts, Dexter; also, Bob's Hardware in Dover Foxcroft.

I like to specialize in local scenes and flowers. I have original paintings in oil, watercolor, acrylic, and some pen ink drawings. At this time, I have 24 available in cards and prints. Prints are 8" x 10" - $15.00 each and 11" x 14" - $25.95 each.

Cards have location name of painting and signature on back, are in plastic envelopes and are $3.45 each when sold separately.
