I am a born and bred Oklahoman.  Raised in eastern Oklahoma County, the youngest of five children, we were all encouraged to explore and identify our creative voices.  I discovered at an early age that I liked to draw, paint and daydream.  I received my BFA at Oklahoma State and some years later, attended Southern Illinois University at Carbondale and receive my MFA in painting.  As is the way for most artists I worked in other vocations (retail and bankruptcy), but after awhile I knew that I was truly called to be an artist and a teacher.  Therefore, I took a leap of faith, quit my job, and delve completely into art fulltime: creating, exhibiting, and teaching art.  I have not regretted one minute of this ride.  When you are doing what you love, it is amazing how easily you find contentment.
