I have painted off and on all of my adult life. I did hang up my brushes for a few years after college, but I picked them back up several years ago, actually lots of years ago now, and started painting again.  When I decided it was time to "get serious" I packed up my paints and canvases and opened a Studio in Downtown Raleigh in the "Carter Buildings". 

The mediums I use most now are dyes with my textiles -- but I still do paint with Oils and Acrylics on occasion.  I love to try new things, so I am always experimenting. When someone asks me what my STYLE is I shrug my shoulders and just say COLOR (or professionally called a FAUVIST). 

It seems that I have come a long way in the past few years, but one thing I know for sure -- Art is my Passion -- and how many people get to say that they can get up in the morning and love to go to work.

I can and I thank God and my family for that.
