I have always been a creative in my spare time, so after retiring from a rewarding career in the energy industry, I decided to develop my art skills. While I had been a lifelong amateur photographer and done a bit of drawing, I had never painted!
I explored watercolor, acrylics, pastels, paper and fabric collage, printmaking and more and discovered that I most enjoy combining different styles of art to create mixed media artwork. Taking that a step further, I began to digitally combine my photographs and mixed media work using software applications to create composite artwork.
My art is inspired by nature, literature and life's simple pleasures and I seem to have an affinity for lines and patterns!
You can see my artwork at Mint Hill Arts or purchase wall art, prints and items with my artwork on them at
