My husband, Steve, and I reside on a wooded acreage near Williamsburg, Iowa. A renewed interest in art was sparked after retirement from an Information Technology career. 

On-going experimentation (acrylics, charcoal, alcohol inks, graphite, and etching press) led to trying the irresistible fluidity and spontaneous ‘dance’ with watercolor. 

Tapping into the unusual and sensitive nature of subjects, I seek out their hidden moods, feelings, and emotions. My techniques often add a twist of the unusual with

an occasional nod to the unexpected.​

​

Fortunately, I have been able to combine my interests in both art and technology with positions in the Iowa Watercolor Society (IWS) as former Exhibition Chair and

current Website Manager. My painting, Free Spirit, exhibited as part of the IWS Exhibition Traveling Show. Additionally, I have created websites, such as this one.

Other venues include: 
The Collective Gallery, in scenic Elkader, IA. -  Artists and small business groups associated with THE COLLECTIVE work together,  positively impact each other and

the community.     

 

Octagon Center For The Arts encompasses art gallery, shop, arts festival,  free events, classes, workshops, and art camps.
Over 175 local and regional artists are represented in the Octagon Shop. 9,000 individuals engaged in art and community through the 2019 Octagon
 Art Festival and other free Octagon events.  Over 600  adults and children were reached through Octagon classes, workshops, & art camps in the last year.
About 482 emerging and established artists were able to exhibit & offer their work for sale through the Octagon Shop, Octagon Festival, & galleries last year.
