My Bio

I was asked to prepare a bio of myself for Alexander Art.  So here goes! 

I am a painter of floral and landscapes in oils. I work in sessions of about two and a½ hours, and try to capture the beauty and light of the subject I am painting.  I love to paint and find that I can lose myself in painting.

I started painting years ago when my children were little.  I loved the way it made me feel.  I have painted with acrylics for as long as I can remember.       

I have taken classes in many different styles, Donna Dewberry, decorative painting, Bob Ross and William Alexander.  I began searching out an oils teacher.  I found a good one at our community college.   She taught the Bob Ross method of wet on wet.  I completely enjoyed it. I was/am hooked.  She told me about William Alexander and his certification program.  I am so excited and happy to be part of the Alexander Family.     

Having the time of my life!

I wanted to share with my family and friends some of my paintings!  I hope you enjoy them as much as I have making them!

I started painting years ago when my children were little.  I paid for many of our Christmas's with
craft faire money.  Next I started taking classes - Tole painting classes and loved it!  I have taken classes in the Donna Dewberry style, Bob Ross and I am certified with Alexander Art. 
I spent many hours painting so many different things!  From Halloween Pins, too my daughter's sweatshirts!  I love to paint!   Painting allows me to express myself in a way that I never knew was possible.  I want to share my love for painting with you.
