I have always had an interest in art and working with my hands. Whether it was cooking, sewing or making gifts, I am happy to be "doing". While living in Bolivia, I rediscovered my love of painting. My interest is in landscapes and paintings that have connections to my life.  I paint mainly in pastels and oils.  Sketching was always a  necessary chore, but somehow it has become a favorite passtime.  We divide our time between Texas and New Mexico.
