My husband, Rob, and I, live in Wendell.

I have two daughters, Beth and Leslie, both married, and three grandsons, Will, Bradley, and Clay.

 When I was a teenager I started taking art lesson from a private art teacher in Oklahoma, which led me later to a degree in Commercial Art.  I continued learning from several local artists in the Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas areas.

In 2006, I felt a calling from The Lord Jesus Christ to open my home and give art classes to local home schooled children, public school children, and adults.  I believe if children are able to express themselves creatively through the arts they are less likely to fill the void with drugs and alcohol.  It is also a great self-esteem builder.  My students are so creative and inspiring.  It is very rewarding and satisfying for me personally to teach them.

With the opening of my Art of Giving Studio, I moved most of my classes there and developed more paint classes, workshops, art camps, and paint parties.

Besides painting on all types of surfaces, canvas, furniture, glass, etc., I love to create with stained glass.  You can see and purchase my stained glass pieces, and paintings from my studio or gift section, or catch my daughter, Leslie, and me at local festivals.

I give God all the praise and glory for blessing me with the talent to create and teach.  Without The Lord Jesus’ Holy Spirit leading and guiding me I would be nothing, for all my work is inspired by The Lord Jesus Christ.
