Meet the Artist....
Born and raised in Louisiana, I grew up watching my father paint and from this, I also felt a fervant desire to create as a child. It was my first studio oil painting class in college where I fell in love with the process of painting and since then, I continue to explore and discover new ways to improve my style.
​
Along with painting, I am a high school art teacher in Houston, TX. After 26+ years, teaching continues to give me immense joy. I treasure fostering the adolescent mind into loving the process of creating art.
​
I am best known for my oyster paintings, but I have expanded my collection to include various botanicals and abstract compositions. I love playing with bright colors, bold lines and a mixture of textures and painting techniques.
My commissioned works hold a special place in my heart. I love painting a composition with a person and their home in mind. Email me with any inquires about my current works or to start a discussion about a composition painted just for you!
