United StatesA native Floridain, I enjoy painting the Florida landscape and lifestyle. I have loved art for as long as I can remember. Born in St. Petersburg, Florida, and raised in nearby Plant City, my earliest childhood memories are of sitting on my father’s lap, begging him to draw for me and to teach me how he did it. He would entertain me for hours drawing Mickey Mouse and all other sorts of silly characters tracing circles with a coin. My first memorable and "most favorite" gift was a large assorted box of new crayons that my aunt gave to me on her last day of school. I was thrilled! I couldn't wait to get home and draw. I can still smell them! My family has always been very supportive of my artwork.
It was in high school that I discovered my passion for painting. I began my studies under Phyllis Duggar-Alexandroff who truly inspired me, believed in my work, and after her submission of my portfolio to various art educators, I was chosen for a scholarship to a local community college. After college, I continued my art mostly as a hobby. To date, I have worked in all types of mediums and have sold paintings and murals all over the U.S.
For me, having an artistic ability is a God-given gift that I am most grateful to share. It’s as though something magical happens when I pick up a brush. But mostly, it’s when my gift touches someone else’s soul that brings me the greatest joy. My artistic purpose is fullfilled if I can evoke a sense of peace and joy through my paintings and create a piece of art that one never tires of gazing into...
